Group For Legal And Political Studies

Group for Legal and Political Studies is an independent, non-partisan and non-profit public policy think tank based in Prishtina, Kosovo. Our mission is to conduct credible and evidence-based policy research in the fields of politics, law and economics, to share this information with the public and contribute to public-opinion formation, and to push forward realistic policy solutions, via engagement and advocacy with media, policy-makers, and elite stakeholders, that address the failures of previous policies, that instigate critical evaluation of current and upcoming policies and offer prescription, and that prompt long-term political, legal, and economic development. Through advocating the policy solutions derived from our policy research, we aim to support four fundamental policy developments: a. to support the democratization of the polity with regard to institutional and substantive policy reform; b. to strengthen the rule-of-law capacity and performance via informed policy solutions and practical advocating strategies; c. to enhance the economic growth and development by promoting market strategies that increase the rate of growth and stability, and d. to help improve regional cooperation and Kosovo’s presence at the international level.
