An unofficial LaTeX template for doctoral theses in Political Science (Comparative Politics) at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon (ICS-ULisboa). It implements the formatting rules published by the institution at https://www.ics.ulisboa.pt/trabalho-final, so that students do not have to translate a regulation into LaTeX settings themselves. Compiles with XeLaTeX. The included latexmkrc invokes XeLaTeX even when pdfLaTeX is selected, so the project compiles on Overleaf without changing any setting.

Derived from the IPLeiria Thesis template by José António Portela Areia (https://github.com/joseareia/ipleiria-thesis), also LPPL-1.3c.
