Choice Architecture in Democracies: Exploring the Legitimacy of Nudging

Choice architecture is everywhere. Nudging has become fashionable. The EU and some Member states, including Germany, explore the possibilities of informing their regulatory policies with behavioural insights. This book provides a cutting-edge overview of a rapidly evolving field, reflecting on constitutional challenges, contested cases and ethical choices. The volume emerged from a conference held at Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin in January 2015, and from discussions and a symposium on Verfassungsblog.
