회의록 분석을 통해서 본 국회 상임위원회 운영의 특징

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of the study is to examine whether the distinctive characters of individual standing committees have an effect on their composition and operations. In particular, we choose 4 committees, which are thought to be different from each other in terms of jurisdiction, out of 17 standing committees, and analyze their behavioral records. The selected committees are the Unification, Foreign Affairs & Trade Committee, the National Policy Committee, the Agriculture, Forestry, Maritime Affairs & Fisheries Committee, and the National Defense Committee. We examine their operations based on the level of change in membership, the percentage of attendance, the level of participation in committee meetings, and the mode of decision-making. The results show that all four committees fall short in the attendance and speech rate of members. Besides, the percentage of members absent during committee sessions without prior notice is high as well. The operation of standing committees is very important, because standing committees are one of the major arenas where consensus on a policy issue is reached among political parties, and where their consensus is directly connected to the operations and decisions of the floor. In order to enhance the trust of the public in the National Assembly and to perform the proper role of the National Assembly as a legislative body, it is necessary to reform the operations of standing committees among other things.
