title = {Anstößiges Anstoßen? – Kritische Beobachtungen zur „Nudging“-Diskussion im deutschen Kontext},
year = {2016},
note = {Nudging refers to a much-debated political steering approach that
relies on gentle interventions in decision architectures of
individuals with the aim to shape their behaviour in a direction that
is beneficial for them and/or for the society as a whole. For some,
nudges have the potential to address grand societal challenges in an
efficient and effective manner; others regard nudges as inappropriate
means of political steering that open the door for manipulating
citizens. But the existing criticism is characterized by
dramatization, lack of differentiation, normative exaltation,
problematic demarcations and comparisons as well as numerous
omissions. However, a more differentiated, contextualized and
politicized discussion would open the view for the specific potential
of democratically legitimized pro-social nudges to contribute to
tackling grand societal challenges.},
