Problematizing revolving doors:

conflicts of interests, regulatory capture and habitus convergence

Y. Bazin – y.bazin@istec.fr  – ISTEC

Abstract:

Focusing on investment banks in the financial sector, this paper aims at understanding the underlying dynamics of convergence amongst interests and worldviews between regulatory institutions and regulated organizations. The concept of revolving doors between public and private sectors will appear as problematically central, especially considering that their intensification in the last 30 years. Using Bourdieu’s framework, we will consider these continuous revolving doors as strong participants to the convergence of actors’ habitus between financial corporations and their regulatory institutions.
