YANEZ, Bernardo Navarrete  y  AMIGO, Giovana Gómez. La limitación de la legislatura en Chile. Un estudio de opinión pública en la región metropolitana. Tékhne [online]. 2009, n.12, pp.119-144. ISSN 1645-9911.

The article analyses, in a theoretical perspective, the term limit and the incentives for the incumbent generated by the Chilean electoral system. Besides, it is studied the perception of the re-election limits by means of a telephone survey applied to the inhabitants of Santiago de Chile. The survey shows a general agreement for limiting the re-election through a specific law. However, the survey shows a group of contradictory opinions that hinders their comprehension and the possibility of legislating on the matter.

Palabras clave : term limit; re-election; professionalization of politics; congress; Chile.
