The study aims to identify political and institutional factors influencing the passage of legislative resolutions in South Korea.
Analyzed 2,372 legislative resolutions from the 16th to 22nd National Assemblies (2000-2025).
Employs binary logistic regression to assess the impact of co-sponsorship, timing of proposal, government form, and party division.
Investigated interactions between government forms and party division.
Higher co-sponsorship increases the likelihood of resolution passage, indicating it signals prior consensus.
Timing of proposals near elections did not consistently affect passage likelihood.
Under bipartisan government, conditions favor resolution handling through selection and adjustment of feasible matters.
