Overview
This volume examines the electoral experience of Costa Rica, the only long-term democracy to impose term limits on legislators, and provides comparisons with legislatures in Venezuela and the United States. The author challenges claims made about the effects of term limits on political careers, pork barrel politics, and the effectiveness of political parties in passing their programmes.
