The Revolving Door Theory

The Revolving Door Theory describes a pattern where individuals move between roles in government and industries they regulate or have interests in. For example, a person might work in government regulation and later take a job with a company they once oversaw, or vice versa. This cycle can influence decision-making, potentially leading to conflicts of interest where personal or corporate gains affect public policy. It highlights how professional movement between public and private sectors can impact transparency, accountability, and trust in institutions.
