Government, Politics, Law : Brazil

This pathfinder includes information on Brazilian government sites, political parties, and movements. The most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning Brazil is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 130 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. The Handbook is available in selected libraries in book form.   One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Brazil is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://www.lanic.utexas.edu/la/brazil/). Another site one should especially note is the site prepared by the Law Library of the Library of Congress for legal, political, and general information on their Guide to Law Online (http://www.loc.gov/law/guide/brazil.html).
