Book presentation: Nudging’s Contributions to Good Governance and Good Administration, published by EPLO | Hybrid event

On 22 February 2023, the Public Administration School of Catalonia will host the presentation of a noteworthy book edited by Prof. Juli Ponce Solé.
Abstract: The relationships between behavioral insights, law and other sciences and public administrations is an exciting and (not so) new field of academic work and practical applications all around Europe and the world. There are still few publications on the topic from a legal point of view in Europe and even less works including a transdisciplinary perspective. The interest is continuously increasing thanks to the use of nudges against the Pandemic and several Nobel Prizes in Economy in the last years which have been awarded in relation to this issue. This book deals with the relationship between Law and other sciences (Economy, Linguistics and Political Science, especially) and behavioral insights in order to make effective the right to good administration and have a good governance. It considers how different nudges can improve the functioning of public administrations in an effective and unexpensive way, preventing corruption and maladministration. It also analyzes how nudging could lead to a better regulation of private sector in several fields, improving compliance through a less intrusive public intervention that respects the principle of proportionality.

The book presentation will welcome internationally renowned experts, listed below.
