The purpose of this study is analyzing the network of the National Assembly based on the bill data in 18th, 19th National Assembly lawmakers submit to Committees. By using bipartite projection we find out a strong committee and understand the relationship of committees. We focused on bills that ten or more of the legislators propose and compare between the first opposition party and the ruling party, which accounts for more than 80% of the overall structure of the National Assembly. We point out an influential legislator and committee in the network. This result presents which committees and lawmakers have a significant effect on process of legislation. This work gives a reasonable source as qualified to judge whether the committee and legislators group enact positively or not.

The purpose of this study is to find a policy and to predict the needs of legislative information service of the 20th National Assembly. For this purpose, It is critical to understand the use behavior of legislative information service according to the attribute for the member of the 19th National Assembly. Thus, this study examined the results of reference service of National Assembly Library of Korea using the politics attribute and the relation attribute as independent variables for the member of the National Assembly in the First Half of the 19th National Assembly. Consequently, there were meaningful differences in the use of legislative information service between users by party affiliation, method of an election and introversion. Also, the increased demand of legislative information service was predicted in that the 20th National Assembly is the status of the opposition majority and the three major parties.

신계륜 국회 환경노동위원회 위원장은 자타가 공인하는 환경노동 전문가로 꼽힌다. 이는 그의 지난 활동들을 들여다보면 쉽게 파악할 수 있다. 신 위원장은 1980년대부터 10여 년간 산업현장을 직접 누비며 노동 인권 운동에 앞장서 왔다. 이후 그는 1992년 14대 국회에서 입성한 후 환경노동위원회에 몸을 담으면서 근로자들의 안전을 위한 활동을 시작했다. 또 16대 국회에서는 현장중심의 의정활동을 본격적으로 펼쳐 나갔다. 당시 환노위 법안심사소위원장 재임시절에 노동계와 재계의 합의를 이끌어 내면서 주5일 근무제를 도입시킨 것이 대표적이 예라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 19대 국회에서는 그동안의 환경노동 관련 경험을 인정받아 전반기 환경노동위원회 위원장에 선임됐다. 이처럼 그는 환경노동 분야에서 잔뼈가 굵은 전문가 중에 전문가라고 할 수 있다. 그만큼 신 위원장의 의정활동에는 많은 이들의 시선이 집중되는 것이다. 이에 신계륜 환노위 위원장을 만나 앞으로의 계획과 우리나라 산업안전문화에 대해 여러 이야기를 나눠봤다.

"국가 또는 지자체는 환경전문공사를 다른 업종의 공사와 분리발주하여, 중소환경전문공사업체를 지원해야 합니다. 또 일정 금액 이하의 환경전문공사는 환경산업이 자리 잡을 수 있도록 일정기한 동안 대기업의 참여를 제한해야 합니다." 국회 환경노동위원으로 활동하고 있는 서용교 국회의원은 환경분야에도 대기업과 중소환경업체와의 상생의 길을 모색해야 한다고 강조했다. 서 의원은 이밖에도 폐기물 관련법 개정안 등 다수 입법발의 했다. 서용교 의원은 1968년 경상남도 밀양에서 태어나, 1993년 서울대학교 국사학과를 졸업했으며, 제18대 대통령선거 박근혜후보 중앙선대위 직능총괄본부 환경본부장으로 일 했었다. 제19대 국회의원 선거에서는 새누리당 부산 남구(을) 선거구 국회의원에 출마해 당선 되었다. 현재 서 의원은 국회 환경노동위원회에서 활동 중이다. 다음은 서용교 의원과의 인터뷰 내용이다.

This study analyzes the revision bills of the National Assembly Law in the 19th National Assembly in which the National Assembly Advancement Act was enacted, with the question "who are involved in the revision of the procedural rules, and what motivates them?" The cosponsor network analysis focusing on primary sponsors of the revision bills shows that the network was constructed by party affiliations. A small number of members with high degree centrality attempted to cooperate with each other at the cosponsoring stage, but the legislation did not pass through the related committee. In addition, this study tests the four competitive hypotheses (the committee hypothesis, the distributive politics hypothesis, the ideological distance hypothesis, and the partisan affiliation hypothesis) about the motivation to propose amendments by using the regression models which include newly measured variables. Only the committee hypothesis and the partisan affiliation hypothesis are empirically supported. This implies that partisan consideration is still significant in amending the National Assembly Law even after the National Assembly Advancement Act, and thus party leaders' willingness to seek bipartisan compromises is at the heart of problem-solving.

This study examines the effects of members' legislative performance on their renominations in the $19^{th}$ Korean National Assembly. We measure how many bills each member has proposed and passed in the Assembly. In addition, we also include rate of passing bills as an indicator of legislative performance. Particularly, we analyze 320 members in total, and 270 members who got in on the competition for nomination separately. The empirical findings of our study show that, firstly, among the total members in the Assembly, as they propose bills more and pass bills fewer, they are more likely to be renominated in the very next election. However, this is a result of different types of members rather than legislative performance. Secondly, among the members who actually competed for renomination, the legislative performance of members can not affect their renomination. Therefore, we argue that it is necessary to stipulate nominations criteria and transform top-down nomination method to bottom-up one in order to raise responsiveness and enhance representative democracy.

The legislative cosponsorship network shows the legislative process of the National Assembly through the relationship between the members of the National Assembly formed by cosponsorship. This study focused on the library bill proposed during the 19th National Assembly term, and conducted the cosponsorship network analysis, the centrality analysis of actors of the National Assembly, and a subgroup analysis of keyword-centric networks. As the result of the study, the library bill's cosponsorship network was segmented according to political parties, and lawmakers who played an intermediary role in close proximity to other political party members had an important influence on the network. When restructured into a keyword-oriented network, the network structure segmented into political parties improved as members of different parties shared the same keywords and formed subgroups. Based on the results, it was suggested that a strategy for spreading and sharing policy issues based on core keywords rather than library legislation, centered on lawmakers who play a mediating role between parties, is needed to activate library legislation.
