Document Summary
Readings for week 4 -- don"t forget to start working on memos! Javier corrales and michael penfold (2014): "manipulating term limits in latin. Only non consecutive reelection: an incumbent can be reelected but must sit out a given number of terms before running again; Limited consecutive reelection: an incumbent is allowed to run for reelection continuously, but only for a predetermined number of terms; Indefinite reelection: there is no constitutional limit on the number of times that an incumbent or ex-president can run for reelection, nor on the sequence. Trend toward relaxing term limits -- not without exceptions. First, term limits have changed dramatically; and second, non consecutive reelection is less prevalent than it once was, and consecutive reelection is now more common. Therefore, the most prevalent feature in latin america now is to allow for reelection, consecutively or indefinitely. Change term limit, win reelection, extend again. Change, win, try to extend again but fail.
