BOT 有廣義、狹義之分，本文的BOT 係指廣義的。BOT 之後，又有PFI，再來又發展出PPP。中國大陸利用BOT 方式從事公共建設，已歷經兩波高潮，目前，中國大陸BOT 方式的規範以《以BOT 方式吸收外商投資有關問題的通知》和《關於試辦外商投資特許專案審批管理有關問題的通知》為主，但他們有著法律位階較低，條文過於簡略，兩通知內容間或與其他法律間存在矛盾等缺陷。本文針對這些問題加以分析並就（1）BOT 立法的基本原則；（2）BOT 方式立法模式的選擇；（3）BOT 專案契約的法律性質及其法律適用；（4）BOT 專案契約法律架構的立法模式選擇；（5）投資產業方向的問題；（6）規定BOT 專案契約的主要內容；（7）特許公司的法律地位；（8）政府的保證制度；（9）其他相關的配套法律法規等方面提出建議。

BOT can be defined either broadly or narrowly. The author here uses the
broad meaning. Based on the concept of BOT, PFI and PPP have been developed. PRC has applied BOT to build its infrastructure for years and has reached two peaks. So far the main regulations for the PRC to govern the application of BOT on its infrastructure are the two “Notices.” However, they are inferior to law, too simple, and contradictory with each other and with the other related laws from time to time. The author analyzes these issues and provides suggestion on（1）the basic principles of BOT legislation;（2） the choice of the legislation mode for BOT;（3）the legal nature and regulation of BOT project agreement;（4）the choice of the legislation mode for the legal framework of BOT project agreement;（5）the scope of the infrastructure for the application of BOT;（6）the main points of the content of project agreement;（7）the legal status of the project corporation;（8） the government’s guarantees for BOT;（9）the other laws and regulations accommodating the main law.
