An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars
No full textThe guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes

Cass R. Sunstein, Anatomie de la rumeur
No full textCurieux petit livre que celui-ci ; si l’on pense aux travaux fondateurs d’Edgar Morin dans La rumeur d’Orléans à la lecture du titre de l’ouvrage de Cass R. Sunstein, on comprend dès les premières lignes que l’ambition de l’auteur se situe davantage du côté de la psychologie sociale pour ce qui est de la discipline, proposant un outil à l’usage des « honnêtes gens » pour reprendre les mots de Jean-Léon Beauvois et Robert-Vincent Joule. L’objectif de l’ouvrage est double : il s’agit d’une part..

Cass R. Sunstein – a Socially Committed Constitutional Thinker
Full text linkCass R. Sunstein – a Socially Committed Constitutional Thinker.
This paper reviews the work of Cass R. Sunstein who is a renowned and widely quoted legal scholar and a very prolific writer on a wide range of subjects. I outline herein some themes and ideas expressed in over a dozen C.R. Sunstein’s books that were published between 1993 and 2017. As the title suggests, an emphasis is placed on issues of constitutional relevance. Aiming to place Sunstein’s body of work within a larger context I trace a considerable shift in his approach to political problems and challenges from a purely legal to a more nuanced and multi-dimensional one. Accordingly I present Sunstein’s views on such issues as the partiality
of constitutions, incompletely theorized agreements, judicial minimalism, the ideological component of judging, the cost of rights, and group polarization. The works of this contemporary Publius show that pursuing constitutional law in a practical way is much more than study in linguistics or compiling a constitutional court’s decisions. Cass R. Sunstein’s extensive oeuvre provides a rich material for devising new constitutional solutions to real social problems
