COP3 Reading List

In these early stages of my research project, I feel it is the perfect time to start compiling a list of the books and academic journals I would like to get my hands on and begin reading asap to help inform COP3. As soon as we start back in September, I know it is going to be a mad rush to get the books out from the uni library that I want before others do, so better to be prepared so I can sign these out on the first day back. Other than sourcing these books from the library, I would like to make use of the University of Leeds library, as well as google books and academic journal sites such as Jstor. 

The reading list so far:
