Abstract

The World Justice Project (WJP) Rule of
Law Index® 2021 is the latest report in an
annual series measuring the rule of law
based on the experiences and perceptions
of the general public and in-country legal
practitioners and experts worldwide.
Strengthening the rule of law is a major
goal of citizens, governments, donors,
businesses, and civil society organizations
around the world. To be effective, rule of
law development requires clarity about the
fundamental features that define the rule
of law, as well as an adequate basis for its
evaluation and measurement.
The WJP Rule of Law Index 2021 presents a
portrait of the rule of law in 139 countries
and jurisdictions by providing scores and
rankings based on eight factors: Constraints on
Government Powers, Absence of Corruption,
Open Government, Fundamental Rights, Order
and Security, Regulatory Enforcement, Civil
Justice, and Criminal Justice.
The scores and rankings in the WJP Rule
of Law Index 2021 are derived from more
than 138,000 household surveys and
4,200 legal practitioner and expert surveys
worldwide. The Index is the world’s most
comprehensive dataset of its kind and the
only to rely principally on primary data,
including the perspectives and experiences
of ordinary people.
The Index is intended for a broad audience
that includes policy makers, civil society
organizations, academics, citizens, and legal
professionals, among others. It is our hope
that this diagnostic tool will help identify
strengths and weaknesses within each country
or jurisdiction, and encourage policy choices,
guide program development, and inform
research to strengthen the rule of law within
and across these countries and jurisdictions.
