Three Generations of Western Assassinations in the Global South, Decolonization and the Progressivist Narrative of International Law

This paper situates political assassinations by Western states in the global south in a wider discussion concerning decolonization and the progressivist narrative of international law.

Evidencing the waste effect of Product-Service Systems (PSSs)

This paper adopts a waste-centric analysis of Product-Service Systems (PSSs) to demonstrate that they do not automatically contribute to a dematerialization of the economy, a decoupling of production from material and energy consumption, and thus a transition toward sustainability. A qualitative analysis of various Nordic fashion PSSs that uses a combination of Tukker’s (2004) classification of PS
