Course description

The course will cover general theories of the rule of law, followed by an international overview of modern Rule of Law approaches developed by international and European organisations. After the introduction, the theme of measurement of rule of law will be presented. The course focuses on instruments and how to measure the level of rule of law based on surveys, perceptions and tools for rating and ranking countries using objective information and indicators. An overview of the work of the Council of Europe in the field of the rule of law and administration of justice will follow. Since rule of law principles are related to (European) values and European Union policies, the course will continue with a presentation of the EU Rule of Law framework, European values, and the linkage with the provision of financial support to EU member states. The last part of the course will be dedicated to the administration justice and the rule of law by focusing on efficiency and quality of justice.
