NOTE: This reading list is adjusted to a BA level from the syllabus of the master course PECOS4110. Articles are marked with a C for cursory reading (the bachelor students should read it to understand the logic of issue linkage and delinkage, but are not expected to spend a lot of time on the details), and an R for reading that is recommended but not obligatory. The rest of the list is compulsory reading.
