The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA) joined forces to put the role of politics at front and centre and examine how it can be included in rule of law practice. As a result, the report entitled: ‘Responsive and Responsible: Politically Smart Rule of Law Reform in Conflict and Fragile States’ by Richard Sannerholm, Shane Quinn and Andrea Rabus was published in 2016.
