教育目標

本課程乃是政治研究所博士班與碩士班的選修課程。其內容主要在探討民主憲政體制下（不論是總統制，議會制抑或是半總統制），國會（立法機關）必然是政府權力中心的事實。在民主憲政體制下，法律必須由民選的國會所制定，國會藉由法律的制定，為整個社會做權威性的價值分配，因此民主政治的統治必須以贏得國會的多數支持為前提。不過，國會雖然具有立法的權力，而其如何立法則需視國會內部的結構(structure)，以及國會與其他政治機構(political institutions)之間的互動關係而定。基本上，國會的立法過程(legislative process)乃是政治過程(political process)的一環。本課程旨在介紹國會內部的結構，並說明影響國會立法的政治因素，以期學生具備相關的政治專業知識，決策分析、領導與學術研究的能力。
