The joint decision trap was identified by the political scientist, Fritz W. Scharpf in a 1988 scholarly article, Script error: No such module "citation/CS1".[1] It is understood to be a situation in which there is a tendency for government decisions to be taken at the lowest common denominator in situations where the decision-makers have the ability to veto the proposals. It is a common challenge for federal governments such as Germany and the European Union.[2][3][4]
