Special Issue on Rule of Law and Development Challenges

Rule of Law and Development Challenges explores the complex relationship between legal frameworks and sustainable development across diverse political, economic, and social contexts. It addresses how the rule of law contributes to good governance, accountability, human rights protection, and institutional stability, while also examining the obstacles faced in regions where legal systems are weak, politicized, or under-resourced. This topic invites interdisciplinary perspectives on legal reform, access to justice, anti-corruption efforts, and the role of international law in shaping development outcomes, especially in fragile or transitioning states.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Rule of Law and Development Challenges. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Access to justice
• Anti-corruption mechanisms
• Constitutional development
• Customary law integration
• Governance and rule of law
• Human rights enforcement
• Institutional capacity building
• International legal standards
• Judicial independence
• Law and economic development
• Legal empowerment
• Legal reform
• Property rights protection
