What can policy learn from management decisions?: A case study of Germany's nuclear energy exit

After the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, politicians decided to phase out nuclear energy within a very short period of time, thus initiating Germany's energy transition. Like all people, political actors make decisions under uncertainty and with incomplete information. In the paper "What can politics learn from management decisions? A case study of Germany’s exit from nuclear energy after Fukushima" Prof. Dr. Dominik Möst, Prof. Dr. Werner Gleißner and Dr. Florian Follert examine the extent to which political decision-making processes resemble decision-making in management and what influence decision theory and risk management have on political decision-making processes.
