Publications in English

Most articles are (also) published on Social Sciences Research Network (see links next to the references below) or they are Open Access. We, follow the open-access, free knowledge approach to research. Because I am not completely insane, I realise that I need to publish in established journals, so that is also done. If the links to papers are not below, contact me and I'll try to accommodate.

Note that my doctoral Thesis is freely available from 3^rd of April 2013 on as a part of The Exeter Research and Institutional Content archive (ERIC).
