Swenson, G. (2025). Rule of law in crisis: The need for a new approach The Foreign Policy Centre.

Abstract

The rule of law is vital for creating and maintaining democracy; providing security; protecting human rights; and promoting economic development.[1] Definitions vary, but fundamentally it demands that all are bound by the same law and that the law protects and holds accountable both the governed and governing.[2] Promoting the rule of law has been a core policy priority for Western states and international institutions since the 1990s.
