Abstract

Las disposiciones constitucionales sobre reelección presidencial se modificaron en varios países latinoamericanos durante los últimos años. En algunos países esos cambios pusieron en riesgo la existencia de la democracia. Este artículo utiliza el enfoque de principal-agente para analizar el papel del juez constitucional en la reelección presidencial como mecanismo de rendición de cuentas. Encuentra que la reelección inmediata en democracias de fuerte presidencialismo, puede ser un mecanismo perverso que agudiza la concentración del poder y deteriora el bienestar de los ciudadanos en vez de someter a los políticos a rendición de cuentas.
