Na literatura brasileira sobre o comportamento dos votos de congressistas brasileiros em política comercial, existe concordância de que ele é determinado por características institucionais, ideológicas e dos distritos eleitorais (federativas). Esta pesquisa buscou avançar a compreensão do comportamento destes votos, pela incorporação dos interesses de grupos organizados (lobby), identificados por contribuições de campanha, como fator determinante deste comportamento, na análise do caso da proposta de adesão da Venezuela ao MERCOSUL. Além disto, a pesquisa analisou se o comportamento dos votos dissidentes da orientação e da filiação partidária seria causado por características das bases eleitorais ou por interesses de grupos organizados. Os resultados confirmaram que características de ordem institucional e ideológica tiveram maior influência sobre o comportamento do voto que características locais dos distritos eleitorais (federativas). A inclusão dos interesses de grupos organizados através das contribuições de campanha adicionou capacidade explicativa ao modelo analítico, porém em pequena magnitude. A análise do comportamento dos votos dissidentes mostrou que a dissidência da coalizão do governo e da orientação de voto favorável à política comercial foi determinada por fatores diferentes em relação à dissidência da coalizão de oposição e da orientação de voto contrário à política comercial. No âmbito da análise que foi feita, a dissidência da coalizão do governo e da orientação de voto favorável à política comercial teria sido causada por fator local dos distritos eleitorais, a taxa de desemprego. Já a dissidência da coalizão de oposição e da orientação de voto contrário à política comercial teria sido causada por interesses de grupos organizados. / In the Brazilian literature on the Brazilian congressional voting behavior concerning trade policy, there is agreement that it is determined by institutional and ideological characteristics and also by the features of the electoral districts. This research aimed to advance the understanding of this voting behavior, by incorporating the interests of organized groups (lobby), identified by campaign contributions, as a determinant of this behavior, focused on the analysis of the adhesion proposal of Venezuela to the MERCOSUL. Furthermore, the research evaluated if the dissenting votes behavior from party guidance and party affiliation would be caused by characteristics related to electoral districts or related to interests of organized groups. The results confirmed that the institutional and ideological characteristics had greater influence on voting behavior than local characteristics of electoral districts. The inclusion of the interests of organized groups through campaign contributions added explanatory power to the analytical model, although in small magnitude. The analysis on the dissenting vote behavior showed that dissention from government coalition and from orientation for favorable vote to commercial policy was determined by different factors in relation to the dissention from opposition coalition and from contrary voting instruction to trade policy. The dissention from government coalition and from orientation for favorable vote would be caused by local factor of electoral districts, the rate of unemployment. The dissention from opposition coalition and from contrary voting instruction would be caused by the interests of organized groups.

O novo Código Florestal (Lei 12.651 de 2012) tramitou por quase 13 anos no Congresso Nacional e obteve grande repercussão social. A maior parte do processo foi caracterizada como vitória da bancada ruralista e derrota governamental, em um momento no qual o Executivo possuía maioria legislativa. Entretanto, o conflito não se deu com a variável oposição e governo, mas entre coalizões rurais e ambientais. Este trabalho busca apontar quais recursos utilizados pelas coalizões foram determinantes no resultado da política. Para isso foi analisada a fase inicial da tramitação da matéria na Câmara dos Deputados, ou seja, o período desde a instalação da comissão especial até a aprovação no Plenário da Casa. As audiências públicas e o parecer da comissão revelaram quais são os interesses em jogo e como eles se organizaram para o conflito. A literatura norte-americana sobre formação de agenda e comportamento legislativo subsidiou a compreensão da atuação das lideranças entendidas como os parlamentares que coordenaram os trabalhos das coalizões. Após apontar os principais recursos utilizados por elas, demonstra-se o quanto algumas estratégias foram determinantes no resultado da política. Constatou-se que a definição de uma proposta politicamente viável pelos representantes da agricultura foi determinante na capacidade de construção e mobilização dessa coalizão. Além disso, considerando que o processo decisório também se tornou objeto de conflito, os procedimentos de discussão e votação da matéria foram escolhidos pelas lideranças não apenas para defender a proposta, mas também para facilitar a obtenção de recompensa eleitoral. / The new Forest Code took almost 13 years in National Congress and had considerable social impact. Most of the process was characterized as a rural victory and governmental defeat, at a time when the Executive held legislative majority. However, the conflict could not be explained by the variable opposition and government, but by rural and environmental coalitions. This work seeks to appoint what coalition resources were determinant in the policy outcome. The first phase of the legislative process in the House of Representatives were analyzed - from the installation of the special committee until the approval on the House floor. The hearings and the committee report described the interests involved and how they organized themselves. The American literature about agenda setting and legislative behavior supported the evaluation about leader\'s action understood as legislators who coordinated the coalition\'s work. After pointing out the key resources used by them, it is shown how some strategies were decisive in the outcome of the policy. It was found that the definition of a politically viable proposal by representatives of agriculture activities was crucial to the capacity of building this coalition. Moreover, considering that the decision-making process also became object of dispute, the procedures for discussion and vote were chosen by the leadership not only to defend the proposal, but also to facilitate the achievement of electoral recompense.

Este trabalho versa sobre o papel do Poder Legislativo brasileiro na definição das políticas públicas educacionais. Foi feito o exame de conteúdo de cerca de mil e quinhentos projetos de lei e propostas de emenda à Constituição, apresentados pelos deputados nas legislaturas compreendidas entre os anos de 1995 e 2007. Foram também realizados três estudos de caso sobre duas questões estruturantes das políticas educacionais: o financiamento da educação e a avaliação da educação superior. Nesses casos, analisaram-se as propostas de emendas constitucionais e projetos de lei ou medidas provisórias regulamentadoras, as emendas oferecidas pelos parlamentares, os pareceres e substitutivos apresentados e os textos afinal convertidos em lei. Os resultados encontrados confirmam os estudos que apontam que a iniciativa legislativa dos parlamentares, em algumas áreas de políticas públicas, como a da educação, não está predominantemente vinculada a interesses particularistas ou voltada para a distribuição de benefícios concentrados. Evidenciou-se a predominância de iniciativas legislativas voltadas para benefícios difusos, independentemente da vinculação partidária. O estudo demonstra que, nas questões mais estruturantes de políticas públicas educacionais, normalmente submetidas ao Congresso Nacional pelo Presidente da República, é expressiva a intervenção do Poder Legislativo, por meio da apresentação e à aprovação de emendas, alterando significativamente os textos originais das proposições e freqüentemente levando à aprovação de textos com orientação diversa daquela originalmente pretendida pelo Poder Executivo. Os textos resultantes não são um amontoado de emendas particularistas, mas contribuições para o aperfeiçoamento da legislação, que refletem uma ampla negociação em torno de linhas consensuais de política. Revelam também que a alternância de partidos políticos no Poder Executivo não tem determinado ruptura nessas políticas, mas continuidade com aperfeiçoamento ou ampliação de abrangência. Governos diferentes, com suporte parlamentar diverso, promoveram, com decisiva participação do Poder Legislativo, radical mudança nos mecanismos de financiamento da educação pública, implantando procedimentos redistributivos de recursos e envolvendo o conjunto das três esferas da federação brasileira. Estas iniciativas configuram inovação nas políticas públicas educacionais, estabelecendo novo padrão de financiamento. No campo da avaliação da educação superior, também foram introduzidas normas e procedimentos inovadores, com significativa atuação do Congresso Nacional. / This work discusses the role of the Brazilian Congress, in defining public policies in education. We examine the contents of about fifteen hundred bills and proposed constitutional amendments submitted by deputies in legislatures between the years 1995 and 2007. We also conducted three case studies on two structural issues of educational policy: education funding and evaluation of higher education. In such cases, we analyzed the proposals for constitutional amendments and their respective regulatory bills, the amendments made by parliamentarians, and the texts that finally became law. The results confirm other studies showing that the initiative of parliamentarians in some policy areas such as education, is not predominantly linked to particularistic interests or facing the distribution of concentrated benefits. It is revealed the predominance of legislative initiatives that aimed at diffuse benefits, regardless of party ties. The study shows that in the more structural issues of public educational policies, normally submitted to Congress by the President, there is a significant intervention by the Legislature, through the submission and approval of amendments, which significantly change the original texts of the propositions, often leading to the adoption of texts with different orientation than that originally intended by the Executive Branch. The texts are not a bunch of particularistic amendments, but contributions to the improvement of legislation, which reflect a broad trading around consensual lines of politics. They also show that the alternation of political parties in the Executive Branch has not determined break of those policies, but continued improvement or extension of coverage. Different governments, with diverse parliamentary support and decisive participation of the Legislature, promoted a radical change in the funding of public education, implementing procedures of redistribution of resources involving the three spheres of the Brazilian federation. These initiatives shape innovation in public policy education, establishing a new pattern of funding. In the field of higher education assessment, innovative policies and procedures were also introduced, with significant action of Congress.

Beyond this, owing to a methodological choice and given the limitation of this research, the social background that interests us is that which, and according to selected criteria, would be connected to the health sector. The result of the tabular analysis between the variables shows that the health background is not a predictor of behavior of political actors. / O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar em que medida o background do deputado federal brasileiro influencia o seu comportamento na arena legislativa, mais especificamente, a variação em sua atuação nas votações nominais na Câmara dos Deputados no período que corresponde a 54º Legislatura (2011-2015). Ademais, por uma escolha metodológica e dada a limitação deste trabalho, o background social que nos interessa é aquele que, de acordo com critérios selecionados, esteja vinculado ao setor da saúde. O resultado da análise tabular entre as variáveis demonstra que o background em saúde não é um preditor do comportamento parlamentar no Plenário.

Les typologies de parlementaires occupent une place centrale dans les études parlementaires.Nous proposons une définition du concept de «style de représentation», centrée sur lescaractéristiques déclarées des parlementaires - permettant de traiter les caractéristiques des élusdans leur diversité en examinant le spectre le plus large possible d’activités représentatives - et desaisir la manière dont ces activités s’articulent entre le niveau local et le niveau national. Ceconcept nous permettra d’étudier empiriquement les liens entre les styles de représentation -dansnotre cas des sénateurs français-, leurs déterminants et leurs effets comportementaux et desurmonter ainsi le descriptivisme propre à beaucoup d'études mobilisant des types parlementaires.L'analyse de cinq styles de représentation des sénateurs français met en évidence que les stylesde représentation sont des réponses aux contraintes et ressources des parlementaires et qu’ilsaffectent de manière systématique le comportement des sénateurs. / Typologies of parliamentarians play a central role in the study of legislators and their behavior. Wepropose a narrow concept of styles of representation, focused on the expressed characteristics ofparliamentarians and taking into account the largest possible spectrum of representational activitiesincluding the local and the national arena of the mandate.This concept enables us to study empirically the links between styles of representations -in ourcase of French senators-, their determinants and behavioral effects and to overcome thedescriptiveness of many studies mobilizing typologies of parliamentarians.The analysis of five styles of representation of the French senators show, that these styles areanswers to the constraints and resources of the parliamentarians and that they affect the senators’behavior in a systematic manner.

臺灣公民團體監督立法院的行動並不罕見，早在1989年就有公民團體發起立委評鑑的活動，然而學界未曾對此做過系統性的研究。2007年公督盟正式成立後，自第七屆起，公督盟每會期結束後定期公布立委評鑑，引發民眾與不少朝野立委的重視，但也引起名列待觀察名單立委的反彈。本文有兩個層次的研究問題，首先，公督盟究竟如何做評鑑以及他們怎麼看立委評鑑這件事，本文除了分析公督盟的檔案資料外，也深度訪談其成員。公督盟做評鑑的目的希望為選民篩選出好立委，淘汰劣立委，也希望透過監督推動立法院更加透明開放。公督盟實際上在評鑑過程相當嚴謹，卻一直受到國民黨立委的抵制。然而，解決資源有限與強化質化評鑑是公督盟未來急迫的目標。 　　其次，什麼樣特質的立委較為關心立委評鑑？立委又是如何去看立委評鑑？為了解答本研究問題，本文使用質化的深入訪談以及量化的調查研究兩者混合的方法進行分析。在質化分析上，作者發現：國民黨立委普遍對公督盟持有敵意，民進黨立委則較為友善；此外，立委不分藍綠對評鑑指標過於量化表示不滿；同時，個人形象以及連任考量是影響立委關心評鑑的主因，因為選舉時可以加以宣傳政績；不過，立委評鑑看似使許多立委對立法問政較為積極認真，但不少立委卻是以做業績方式應付評鑑，諸如增加提案量、質詢次數以及高出席率等。而在量化分析上，統計模型顯示，區域立委、民進黨籍、重視立法問政、高教育程度以及女性的立委較為關心評鑑；而民進黨籍立委以及女性立委則較積極提供評鑑資料給公督盟；最後，立委關心評鑑的程度與其評鑑成績表現有正相關關係。總結來說，這些發現均說明了公督盟對立委的問政行為多少產生影響力，後續效應值得學界繼續追蹤研究。 / The NGO’s activities of supervision on the Legislative Yuan is not rare in Taiwan. As early as 1989, there were campaigns called “legislator-evaluation (hereafter ‘LE’)” held by a few NGOs. However, there are scarce systematic researches on it. In 2007, many NGOs allied into an alliance called “Citizen Congress Watch, CCW”. Since the 7th term, the reports of LE were regularly published by CCW after the end of each session. The reports of LE not only attracted the public and the legislators’ attentions, but also received serious criticism from legislators listed on the ‘watch-list’. This thesis has two levels of research questions: First level question is how the CCW conducts and treats the LE. I analyzed the archives and interviewed with the members of CCW to understand how and why they conducted the LE. The purposes of CCW are not only to filter out excellent legislators and to eliminate infamous legislators through LE for the electorate, but also to promote the transformation of Legislative Yuan to more transparency by supervision. Actually, the process of LE is rigorous, but the CCW still confronts the KMT legislators’ boycotts. However, under the situation of limited resource, it’s CCW’s urgent problem to solve and to reinforce the qualitative indicators. 　The second level questions intend to discern the characteristics of legislators more concerned about the LE, and how the legislators regard the LE. I combined the methods of in-depth interview and survey on legislators and their assistants. From the in-depth interview, I have several findings: First, because of suspicion on the CCW’s stand towards to the DPP, the KMT legislators are hostile to the CCW; in contrast, the DPP legislators are friendly to it. However, both the KMT and the DPP legislators are unsatisfied with the ways of conducting LE because it overly weights on quantitative indicators. In addition, the reasons legislators care about the LE is mainly due to their values on personal image and re-election considerations. Last, it seems that legislators had become more actively participating in the legislative process because of the LE. Actually many legislators purposefully cope with it by “upping grades”—the number of proposals, interrogations, and the attendance rates were magnified or boasted by the legislators. Also, my hypothses are verified. From the statistic model, it shows that district legislators, the DPP legislators, those who emphasize on legislative affairs rather than constituency service, and the females, are more concerned about the LE. Besides, the DPP and the female legislators are more willing to offer documents for LE to the CCW. In addition, there is a positive relationship between the degrees of legislators’ concern and their grades of LE. In conclusion, these findings imply that the CCW has more or less influence on legislators’ legislative behaviors. It worths conducting follow-up studies in the future.

立法委員因連任動機及選區壓力，使國會議場的立法參與成為選區服務的延伸。立委會將陳情民眾的意見轉化為法律提案，以便向選民宣稱功勞；為展現立法績效，並會以「搭便車」或「加碼」等方式，積極追逐立法數量。若立委選區的立場，與政黨政策方向不一致，立委可能以「切割」立場、表達異議的肢體語言，向選民表態。立委或政黨雙方各自堅持立場，甚至政黨以黨紀懲罰，仍是另一種形式的妥協，立委也藉此免於選民究責。原則上，雙方會權衡得失，在政黨包容立委選區的壓力下，避免完全撕裂關係。 　　本文以農業法案為例，用意在分析農業區與非農業區立委，於農業立法參與度的差異。觀察對象從立法院第一屆增額立委時期至第七屆，參與度的測量針對首提案、共同提案及發言次數累加，但考慮提案的付出相對較高，故予以加權計算。統計結果，農業區立委相對於非農業區、民進黨相較於其他政黨，在農業立法參與度比較高，國民黨則是黨際競爭激烈的農業區立委較積極。此外，第二屆的國會全面改選及第七屆選制改為單一選區，對立法參與度皆有顯著影響。 　　在方法的運用上，本研究測量農業立法參與度，以量化（立法紀錄編碼）為主，並藉質性資料（公報、報紙、訪談）輔助解釋。立委因選區考量促成的行為態樣，包括競逐立法績效及突顯異議立場的分析，則以質性資料的案例檢證為主，且以數據資料輔助佐證。 / Legislative participation in congress by legislators who want reelection and feel pressure from constituency is extension of servicing constituents. Legislators propose bills that transform from petitions of constituents in order to claim credit, and propose more bills to raise legislative performance by “free riding” and “raising the stakes.” Besides, legislators may “segment” position or express objection to conforming constituency if legislators and their party have different opinions. At this situation, legislators and their party maybe stand each position or party enforces punishment to maintain discipline that is another compromise, and legislators can avoid charge from constituency. In principle, party will tolerate legislators who feel pressure from constituency and each will avoid to tear both sides. 　　The dissertation applies case of agricultural bills aims to compare degree of legislative participation in agricultural and non-agricultural district. The range of observation is from First(additional members) to Seventh Legislative Yuan. The degree to measure include first and joint proposal, speaking. However, the proposals had weighted for more devotion than speaking. As a result of statistics, legislators’ degree in agricultural district was more high than non-agricultural, DPP’s degree was more high than other party, and KMT legislators in marginal agricultural district still actively participate in legislation. Furthermore, the Second’s democratization and the Seventh’s single member district had more influence on legislative participation. 　　In research methods, the degree to measure legislative participation in agricultural bills mainly applies quantitative analysis(to code legislative records). Further, legislative behavior of raising legislative performance and standing objection position mainly applies qualitative analysis(bulletin, newspaper, interview).
