The book explores the impact of legislative term limits, focusing on Costa Rica as a case study, while comparing it with Venezuela and the United States. Professor Carey critically examines the claims of both supporters and opponents of term limits, investigating their effects on political careers, pork-barrel politics, and party effectiveness. Through extensive analysis, the study challenges prevailing beliefs about term limits, highlighting how disrupting the electoral connection influences political behavior and raises questions about the overall efficacy of such reforms.
