Abstract
The purpose of this artical attempts to study the problems of revolving door regulations in Civil Servants Law (CSL). The theoretical framework of this study is based on issue networks theory which describes how to move in and out of the networks between government officials and private sector employees. This is an empirical study that was supported by three seminars in Taiwan and comparative analyses of revolving door regulations in the US., the UK., Japan, Canada and Germany. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The regulations of the prohibition of certain jobs in private sectors should be revised to the prohibition of certain behaviors, (2) Violators should be punished by Criminal Act and Lobby Act, (3) Government should establish an independent committee to conduct prior scrutiny of retirees or people applying for jobs in private sectors.
Keywords: revolving door regulations, issue networks theory, UK scrutiny committee
