	Background Notes: Portugal
		Portugal's entry into the EC and the concomitant obligations to open its markets and compete freely with its EC partners by the 1992 Single Market have been the primary stimulus for many of the recent reforms and will continue to influence much of Portuguese economic policy and business strategy.
		Portugal's foreign policy reflects the country's geographic, cultural, and historic roots in the Western community and the determination of the post-1974 elected governments to reinforce those bonds and the democratic values they help sustain.
		Portugal's nearly bloodless transition from authoritarian rule to constitutional democracy during 1974- 76, the exclusion of communists from its parliamentary governments, and its excellent human rights record demonstrate the commitment of the Portuguese to democratic values.

	LC subject subdivision patterns (Tulane Cataloging)
		Topical subdivisions are used under all types of subject headings — personal, corporate, family, and geographic names, uniform titles, and topical headings — to represent a particular subtopic and narrow down the broader subject.
		Also, a subdivision that often functions as a form subdivision may be applied and coded as a $x topical subdivision when a work is about a particular form of publication.
		Strictly speaking, the subdivision “Biography” should only be used when more than half (50%) of a work deals with the personal aspects of a person’s life, as opposed to discussion of her or his career or works.
