Since 1993, there has been a serious dispute between the Executive Yuan and the Legislative Yuan (LY) regarding the role of legislative oversight and scrutiny of cross-strait economic and trade negotiations. On the one hand, the executive branch believes that the LY, by enacting the “cross-strait law,” has already delegated its power en mass to the executive with regards to cross-strait negotiations. Therefore, any resultant cross-strait agreements are to be regarded as executive orders, subject only to notification of the LY. On the other hand, the LY believes that cross-strait agreements usually involve distributions of social-economic interests, some of which would even have implications of Taiwan’s future. For that reason, proper legislative oversight of cross-strait negotiations cannot be compromised. In this article, I introduce a mechanism of multiple veto points, widely practiced by the US and the EU in their trade negotiations, while examining its incentive structure. I suggest that a properly designed veto-point mechanism will not obstruct cross-strait negotiation and cooperation; to some extent, it will enhance transparency of negotiation processes and confer democratic legitimacy to cross-strait agreements.
