- Title
Lobbying-Regulierung in den deutschen Bundesländern – ein Vergleich.
- Authors
Rasch, Daniel
- Abstract
The article shows that the regulation of interest mediation and lobbying, as a special form, generally exists in the German federal states, but varies considerably. First, not all regulations cover both legislative and executive actors, which means that there is a need for reform, particularly when it comes to regulating interest representation vis-àvis the ministries. Secondly, the decision-makers are too rarely subject to regulation, especially with regard to the waiting periods (revolving door), i.e. the change between jobs in the public and private sector. Thirdly, when lobbying is regulated, there is still a relatively large number of references to associations, trade unions, local umbrella organizations or professional associations. In-house lobbyists, i.e. representing the interests of companies, and newer forms of lobbying, for example through agencies or think tanks, are hardly covered by the regulations. Fourthly, a quick look at the transparency and information portals shows that information about the stakeholders consulted and their positions is rarely recognizable and there is therefore a lack of transparency of decision-making.
