Habits of Highly Effective Countries is an empirical analysis of how India compares with policies associated with success and failure internationally. It illustrates inter alia that the integrity of the legal system is one of the most important factors–perhaps the most important–associated with success. This analysis has been done under the Law Review Project (LRP), a not-for-profit NGO established in 1984 to promote the principles of Good law with special emphasis on economic development and the reform of laws that impact negatively on small business. It provides advice and consultancy services to governments, business and individuals with a view to improving the quality of laws and administrative practices. The LRP promotes a climate of informed opinion regarding the integrity of the legal system, especially the philosophical and practical significance of constitutional provisions and values, such as the rule of law, due process, public participation in policy-formulation, the separation of powers and natural justice.
