Theories of Choice
«This collection provides an in-depth discussion of the promises and perils of specific types of theories of choice. Moreover, it shows how the selection of a specific theory of choice can make a difference for concrete legal questions, particularly in the regulation of the digital economy or choosing between market, firm, or network.»

Choice is a key concept of our time. It is a foundational mechanism for every legal order in societies that are, politically, constituted as democracies and, economically, built on the market mechanism. Les mer

This collection provides an in-depth discussion of the promises and perils of specific types of theories of choice. It shows how the selection of a specific theory of choice can make a difference for concrete legal questions, in particular in the regulation of the digital economy or in choosing between market, firm, or network. In its first part, the volume provides an accessible overview of the current debates about rational versus behavioral approaches to theories of choice. The remainder of
the book structures the vast landscape of theories of choice along with three main types: individual, collective, and organizational decision making.
As theories of choice proliferate and become ever more sophisticated, however, the process of choosing an adequate theory of choice becomes increasingly intricate. This volume addresses this selection problem for the various legal arenas in which individual, organizational, and collective decisions matter. By drawing on economic, technological, political, and legal points of view, the volume shows which theories of choice are at the disposal of the legally relevant decision-maker, and how they
can be operationalized for the solution of concrete legal problems.
The editors acknowledge the kind support of the Fritz Thyssen Foundation for an exploratory conference on the subject of the book.

«This is a wide-ranging and hugely well-informed study of choice and its relationship with law and legal studies. The inclusion of responses to practical issues such as investor voting behaviour and networks of commercial contracts demonstrates a concerted attempt to link theory to practice. Any legal text that attempts interdisciplinary research (of sorts) with quantum physics is worth a look.»
