Because of the separation of ownership from operation right in modern companies, most shareholders especially minority shareholders are not directly involve in the corporate operation and management, which leads to information asymmetry between shareholders and company executives, their legitimate rights and interests are likely to be infringed by the management .

由于现代公司所有权与经营权的分离，多数股东尤其是中小股东不直接参与 公司的经营管理，造成了股东与公司管理层之间信息不对称的现象，其合法权益 很可能会受到公司管理层的侵害，因此股东知情权是股东尤其是中小股东一项尤 为重要的权利。它不仅是股东监督公司经营管理的重要手段，也为股东行使其他 核心权利包括表决权等奠定基础。因此，目前世界各主要国家公司立法中均分别 规定了股东知情权。 我国公司法的发展目前尚处起步阶段，虽然 2005 年的公司法修订对股东知 情权的相关加以完善，但规定仍然过于模糊，操作性不强，不利于股东权利的行 使与保护，需要进一步的立法完善。本文立足于本国国情，首先分析了我国股东 知情权的概念与性质，其次详细阐述我国股东知情权权利体系下的查阅权和质询 权，以及股东知情权的司法救济制度，最后借鉴国外先进的股东知情权制度设计 经验并结合本国的情况，提出具体的立法建议以完善我国股东知情权，切实保护 我国股东的正当权益。 关键词：股东知情权 股东查阅权 股东质询权 司法救济
