Abstract

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.

공동발의 네트워크는 법안 공동발의로 형성되는 국회의원 간의 관계를 통해 국회 입법과정을 보여준다. 본 연구는 제19대 국회 임기기간 중 발의된 도서관법안을 중심으로 공동발의 네트워크 분석과 국회의원 액터의 중심성 분석 및 키워드 중심 네트워크의 서브그룹 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 도서관법안 공동발의 네트워크는 정당에 따라 분절된 모습을 보였으며, 다른 소속 정당 의원과 근접한 거리에 위치하면서 매개적 역할을 수행하는 의원들이 네트워크에서 중요한 영향력을 미치고 있었다. 키워드중심 네트워크로 재구조화할 경우, 다른 정당 소속 의원들이 동일한 키워드를 공유하면서 서브그룹을 형성함에 따라 정당으로 분절된 네트워크 구조가 개선되는 모습을 보였다. 연구결과를 토대로, 도서관계 입법활동 활성화를 위해서는 정당 간 매개적 역할을 하는 의원들을 중심으로 도서관 법안이 아닌 주요 키워드를 중심으로 정책이슈를 확산하고 공유하는 전략이 필요하다는 점을 제시하였다.
