King's College London

Environment, Politics and Development MSc

You are not required to study anything specific before September. However, if you want to get into the swing of things beforehand then the list below serves as an entry point for your forthcoming programme. Most of the journal articles suggested here are free to access, but you may find that others are hidden behind paywalls. If that's the case, you can often get hold of a free version of the article by looking up the author on ResearchGate or Academia.edu. And while academic books are often expensive to buy brand new, you can often find cheaper second-hand versions, or access them for free through libraries.
