The Internationalisation of Rule of Law
Changing Contexts and New Challenges
This project is led by a multidisciplinary group of renowned academics. It will contribute to a better understanding of the success or failure of rule of law promotion strategies by states, civil society, and international organisations like the United Nations and the World Bank. The key research question has been identified in cooperation with the Hague Rule of Law Network. Based on these outcomes, concrete policy recommendations will be produced for policy makers and rule of law promotion officials.
