Descrição: For centuries, governments have tried to exert influence on civil behaviour. Sanctions, taxes, subsidies and communication are commonly identified as the classic tools of governmental power. However, governing contemporary societies, characterised by little control and many temptations for deviant behaviour, requires new innovative instruments. One of the most prominent instruments is nudging. According to its proponents, nudging citizens towards responsible behaviour is a fitting addition to the intervention repertoire of liberal governments. Based on an analysis of nudging techniques in Dutch security, health and social policy, we show that the goal of libertarian paternalism is only met under very specific circumstances. We argue that nudging should be understood as an extension of Foucaultian biopolitics, albeit with one crucial difference: instead of working upon the human body, nudging is a form of mind politics which works upon the psychological triggers underlying human behaviour and choice.
