Book 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.

An Excellent Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is an outstanding addition to the small but growing canon of literature on term limits. Carey clearly and successfully limns this complex issue. This is a rigerous academic book with important real world conlcusions: a good read for serious scholars and politicos alike.
