Die Regelung von Karenzzeitvorgaben für Spitzenpolitiker - zwischen Verhaltenskodizes und gesetzlicher Normierung.

»The Regulation of Waiting Periods for Leading Politicians. Between Codes of Conduct and Legal Standardisation«: Following a period of no legal regulations on follow-up carrers after leaving public service and a practice of self-regulation thereon, waiting period regulations are dominating career paths for former leading politicians since 2014. The author examines the legal provisions on waiting periods, especially from a constitutional point of view. In this context, he uncovers balancing deficits which, in his opinion, have been neglected in the dispute of the often media-fuelled debate on »switching sides«. The study leads to the development of reform approaches.
