Registration Form - Unpacking External Influences and Conflicts of Interest in Parliament【報名表】國會利益衝突與境外勢力之影響座談會

Date and Time: December 1, 7:30-9:00 AM (EST)（台灣時間晚上 8:30-10:00 ） Beyond parliamentary members and their parties, there's an array of stakeholders with an interest in shaping lawmaking processes and outcomes. Government officials, labor unions, trade associations, civil society groups, private sector lobbyists (at home and abroad): any of these – not to mention the general public – may seek to sway decisions on laws and regulations. 國會的立法程序和其通過的法令，除了國會議員及其所屬政黨之外，還有各式各樣的利害關係人會感興趣。 政府官員、工會、商業同業公會、公民社會組織、（國內外）私部門遊說者：其中任何一個——更不用說公眾——都可能試圖影響法令的形成和制定。 In doing so, such influencers use a number of techniques and entry points for targeting parliaments. However, while their input can have an enriching effect or may be detrimental, it is liable, almost no matter what, to be contentious where it happens behind the public's back. Current approaches to ensure transparency in this context are falling short. Similarly, conflicts of interest that are generated within parliaments as a result of MPs being targeted are often kept hidden. 在遊說過程中，這些有影響力的人會使用許多技巧和切入點來影響國會。 然而，儘管他們的意見可能會產生良好或有害的效果，幾乎無論如何，只要這過程是在公眾不知情的情況下發生，就很有可能引起爭議。 目前在這方面確保透明度的規範仍有不足。 同樣地，國會議員因為被遊說，而產生的利益衝突，也往往會被隱匿起來。 To delve further into this, we will be holding a webinar that seeks to bring to light and unpack these different influencing scenarios and methods and explore the challenges they pose for legislative functioning and monitoring. This will feature distinguished speakers contributing insights and experiences along with expert analysis from around the world. We envision it being a vibrant space for collective dialogue and exchange, with ample time set aside for Q&A and with participants encouraged to feed in their own thoughts and observations. 為了深究這一點，我們這次舉辦的座談會，旨在揭示和分析不同的影響情境和方法，並探討它們對立法運作和監督帶來的挑戰。 本次座談會將邀請來自世界各地的講者提供見解、經驗以及專業分析。 我們期望這是一個充滿活力的對話與交流空間，保留充足的問答時間，並鼓勵參與者發表自己的想法和觀察。 This will be the second in a series of webinars on the theme of ‘parliamentary monitoring’ that is being jointly organized by Citizen Congress Watch, Directorio Legislativo, the National Democratic Institute and the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. The first webinar took place in September this year; it was well received and saw speakers and participants engage in a rich discussion on other legislative monitoring issues. 這將是第二場以「國會監督」為主題的座談會，該座談會由公民監督國會聯盟、阿根廷國會監督組織 Directorio Legislativo、美國國際民主協會和西敏寺民主基金會聯合舉辦。 第一場座談會於今年 9 月舉行；它廣受好評，講者和參與者熱烈地討論了立法監督相關議題。
