ABSTRACT

Logrolling is a virtually universal phenomenon in Korean politics. The purpose of study is to analyze logrolling in the legislation process of regulation bills initiated by members of National Assembly (members, hereafter) through the Network Analysis. The regulation bills are classified into three types (political party, terms of office and constituency) and an individual network of members. The empirical results of the network analysis with three types are: First, logrolling occurs in the same party which has a strong membership and between the parties which have similar political orientation. Second, a newly-elected or re-elected members tend to initiate more bills than the other members. Third, both the Seoul/Gyeonggi-do members and proportional representatives show similar voting tendency. They have more logrolling activities than the members in other constituencies. On the other hand, the network analysis of the individual member of National Assembly shows: First, the logrolling of New Politics Alliance for Democracy (NPAD) members is more common than Saenuri members in view of the high tendency of joint submission and their policy coordination efforts. Second, NPAD members have a higher tendency of compensation for loss than Saenuri members when the bills fail to become a law.
