Rule of law

Political risk - law - constitution - legal systems.

The rule of law describes an ideal of conditions in a country or other jurisdiction in which all citizens and institutions within a country - including the state and agents of the state - are subject to the same legal rules and principles, consistently applied and enforced.

A high degree of rule of law is associated with a low degree of political risk.
