Vol. 2 No. 2 (2015)

This issue of the Journal of Brazilian Studies (REB) highlights in particular the 2014 elections in Brazil. The Dossier was coordinated by Dr. Manuel Alcántara, Professor of Political Science of the University of Salamanca. In its eagerness to approach the different aspects of Brazilian reality, REB also contains in this issue articles addressing matters in Economics, History, Language, Literature and other areas, in addition to an interview with the Emeritus Professor of History from the Universidade de São Paulo, Carlos Guilherme Mota, and a section of reviews and news. The call for papers put out in October was received with such enthusiasm that we were forced to make a selection from the many submissions. We are quite proud and thankful for the interest in REB that authors have shown.
