WJP EUROVOICES measures people’s perceptions of and experiences with the rule of law, justice, and governance in 110 subnational regions across all 27 EU Member States. The following Country Reports features dozens of indicators for Democracy and Fundamental Rights, Justice and Safety, and Transparency and Corruption. The profiles offer data at a country and local level, and provide actionable insights to guide policymaking, strengthen institutions, and foster inclusive, and sustainable development across the EU.
Noting the diversity of institutional designs across EU Member States, WJP EUROVOICES survey questions focused on the experiences of individuals’ in the city, town, or village where they live, minimizing references to government institutions. Regional information was produced following the framework of territorial divisions of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) system.
WJP EUROVOICES builds upon the well-established and tested methodology of the WJP Rule of Law Index©, but uses an expanded conceptual framework adapted to reflect the institutional architecture in the EU. In addition, it presents data from the public and legal experts separately (thus, the WJP Rule of Law Index© and WJP EUROVOICES are not comparable).
