Hague Journal on the Rule of Law

The Hague Journal on the Rule of Law (HJRL) is a multidisciplinary journal (three issues per annum) that aims to deepen and broaden our knowledge and understanding about the rule of law.
Its main areas of interest are:

• current developments in rule of law in domestic, transnational and international contexts
• theoretical issues related to the conceptualization and implementation of the rule of law in domestic and international contexts;
• the relation between the rule of law and economic development, democratization and human rights protection;
• historical analysis of rule of law;
• significant trends and initiatives in rule of law promotion.
