More specifically, the paper identifies a common sequence followed by four countries (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) which leads to the raise of ballot access requirements. The sequence involves the following stages: first, a legitimacy crisis which paves the way to reforms opening up the political system; second, once the legitimacy crisis is left behind, a consensus emerges on the negative consequences of the previous reforms; and third, this consensus culminates with the introduction of the restrictive reforms which have dominated the Latin American landscape for the last decade.
