The amendments “will significantly improve the position of stateless people, as well as all those who had to flee their own countries," Dimitry Kochenov, lead researcher of our Rule of Law Workgroup said to BBC Serbia.

Rule of Law
Attacks on rule of law have long been integral to democratic decay. However, today’s authoritarians often instrumentalize law and democratic norms. Most research in this field focuses on the law or politics. The Institute, by contrast, will bring together lawyers, political scientists, sociologists and political economists to explore the how the erosion of rule of law shapes national developmental models and the extent to which it varies across economic sectors or through the influence of domestic or external actors.
