What Determines the Passage of Legislative Resolutions in Korea? Evidence from the 16th–22nd National Assemblies

Key Points

• 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.
