Governmental Paternalism
Nomos, 1. Edition 2018, 106 Pages
Description
Who decides how the individual may live a good and reasonable life – the individual or “Father State”? “Governmental Paternalism” examines the legal limitations to paternalistic state activities under German and European law, illustrated by examples from European data protection law and social public procurement. Two types of governmental paternalism are distinguished: protective and educational paternalism. Both forms activate a different and specific legal standard, emphasising the individual’s personal autonomy and restricting any governmental interference. This shows: Only a self-determined life is a good life.
The book is a result of the international and interdisciplinary “Enhancing Life Project” of the University of Chicago, in cooperation with Ruhr University Bochum.
