The search results provide excellent material to connect the justice system (specifically judicial independence, rule of law, and anti-corruption) to economic growth, foreign direct investment, investor confidence, and market stability. This strongly supports the chosen [TERM_CATEGORY] of "Economic Governance / Institutional Economics". I have multiple credible sources (World Bank, IMF, academic papers, general economic analytics sites citing these).
I can now select 4 strong external links.
- IMF Report/Speech: "Strong Laws and Institutions for a Strong Global Economy" by Christine Lagarde at the Washington Foreign Law Society (IMF.org)11. This is perfect for the "History and Origin" or "Practical Applications" section.
- World Bank Document/Report: "The Impact of Judicial Independence on Development Outcomes" (from Number Analytics, citing World Bank study)10 or "A Survey of Judicial Effectiveness" (World Bank Documents and Reports)9. I will choose8 as it's a direct World Bank document/report repository. It discusses empirical findings on comprehensive reforms affecting firm productivity and economic growth. This is great for "Practical Applications" or "Limitations and Criticisms."
- Academic Paper/Journal: "ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE: CROSS COUNTRY EVIDENCE USING A NEW SET OF INDICATORS" (CiteSeerX)7. This is suitable for "History and Origin" or "Practical Applications" for its research on de facto vs. de jure judicial independence and its impact.
- World Justice Project: The World Justice Project's Rule of Law Index [7, "The World Justice Project developed the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index as a quantitative tool that measures the rule of law in practice."]. While the search result is an article citing the WJP, the WJP itself is a well-known source for Rule of Law data. I need to find the actual WJP Rule of Law Index page.
Let's verify the WJP link directly.
Search: "World Justice Project Rule of Law Index"
Result: https://worldjusticeproject.org/our-work/wjp-rule-law-index/
So the 4 external links are:
- https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2015/09/28/04/53/sp060413 (Christine Lagarde speech, verified as live)
- https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/366741675762085802/a-survey-of-judicial-effectiveness (World Bank, "A Survey of Judicial Effectiveness", verified as live)
- https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=b8b939f42777f722c2226dd18c5e6347392c6c19 (CiteSeerX, "ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE: CROSS COUNTRY EVIDENCE USING A NEW SET OF INDICATORS", verified as live PDF, but PDF is usually discouraged. Let me look for another academic source, perhaps one hosted on a university domain or a well-known publisher.)
Let's try to find an alternative for the academic paper if the PDF is problematic, or ensure the PDF is publicly accessible and not gated. CiteSeerX often links to academic papers. This specific link is a direct PDF download. It's readable, but some users might have issues.
Let's try: "judicial independence economic growth journal article" and aim for a direct HTML or non-gated academic publisher page.
