Does the drafting of law by private third parties deprive the parliament of its legislative power and therefore void democracy's inner core? Or is the so-called "Gesetzgebungsoutsourcing" a mere instrument of effective governance? Between these extreme positions lies a multidimensional area of conflict, that is being analysed by this doctor's thesis. For this purpose, the main standard to apply is German constitutional law - the "Grundgesetz" - which includes both limitations and instructions concerning the matter at hand. Additionally, recourse is held to established findings of cognitive science - predominantly the so called "Anchoring" - for a better understanding of the phenomenon. The analysis finally opens out into an elaboration of rules to control Gesetzgebungsoutsourcing. Implementing those rules shall ensure that while using Gesetzgebungsoutsourcing as a mean of governance the democratic legitimation of law is upheld.
