“…According to the existing studies, whether or not the members of the National Assembly belong to the Security and Public Administration Committee, seniority, the number of members of the National Assembly in districts, and the number of the members of the ruling party were found to have significant effects on the allocation of the special grant tax (Choi and Kim, 2008;Heo and Kwon, 2009;Kim, 2010;Choi and Lee, 2011; Han, Narae / Department of Political Science, Sogang University, Seoul, South Korea, Email: hnrmax@gmail.com You and Cho, 2014). Then, whether distribution of special grants is affected by these factors has to be verified in 19th National Assembly.…”

Abstract-Existing studies on special grants have depended on the material of 17th National Assembly, since the Ministry of the Interior has prohibited disclosure of special grants. Those studies fail to comprehend the dynamics during the process of allocating the special local tax, because they did not differentiate the ruling party from the opposing party. However, it is expected that there would be significant differences between the ruling party and the opposing party in terms of how they distribute special grants. Therefore, this study explores the differences using the material of 19th National Assembly. The finding revealed that the special local tax was distributed unequally between the ruling and opposition districts in 2015. There is a political implication of this study in pointing out that the special grant tax is a representative case showing that competition for re-election in 2015 is unfair.
