Abstract

The article presents an evidence of mixed-member electoral systems and legislative behaviour from South Korea. It discusses the two main conditions that determine the influence of political parties over legislators' voting in a chamber in the country, which include how centralized is the process of candidate selection. The legislative voting behaviour of the members of the 17th Korean National Assembly (KNA) is analyzed.
