Abstract
Amsterdam Law Forum (ALF) is the student-run 'International Law Journal' of VU University. Every year ALF publishes a winter, spring, and summer issue. The journal consists of three sections; scientific articles, opinion articles, and commentaries. As of this year, ALF also creates a section for inaugural speeches. In addition, ALF hosts a conference in spring with a relevant legal theme, where renowned speakers are invited to share their perspectives. Overall, ALF is a topical journal that provides a platform for established scholars and young academics to share knowledge, opinions and experiences and to make contributions to the international law discourse. Staff, PhD students and master students who have written a very good thesis are invited to submit an article to ALF. What is learned in the cradle is carried to the tomb: we are looking forward to sharing your articles on our website!

Since the Culture Wars in the United States (U.S.), government influence has been the subject of fierce debate
This book is an attempt to steer people in a direction without imposing any limitation on the choices they can make. To do this Thaler and Sunstein used the term ‘nudge’, in normal parlance, a gentle push to urge into action
The authors gave it a political philosophical meaning: “A nudge [...] is any aspect of the choice architecture that alters people’s behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any option or significantly changing their economic incentives.”[1]. They illustrate this with the example of Carolyn who is in charge of hundreds of school cafeterias
Summary
Introduction Since the Culture Wars in the United States (U.S.), government influence has been the subject of fierce debate. Tries to soften the often hard-edged ideological lines between libertarianism and paternalism.
