Governing the commons through circular economy? : A preliminary, conceptual, and critical investigation 宮永, 健太郎 ミヤナガ, ケンタロウ MIYANAGA, Kentaro circular economy commons environmental governance resource depletion environmental degradation In the current Anthropocene era, significant resource depletion and environmental degradation is observed in every region worldwide; this can be understood by the concept “the tragedy of the commons.” This phenomenon is posing serious threats regarding sustaining the economy and business, as well as sustainable development; hence, it should be addressed through an environmental governance system. Based on preliminary, conceptual, and critical perspectives, this paper attempts to explore the viability of circular economy (CE) to overcome this tragedy. In a CE, there is a loop of production, consumption, and disposal̶wastes are regenerated into new products; hence, there is no waste generated in a CE. Based on some Japanese CE practices, this paper indicates that while applying the CE concept alone is not sufficient for governing the commons because of the limits and challenges associated with CE in principle and practice, applying the idea of commons can contribute to overcoming limits and challenges associated with CE. 京都産業大学マネジメント研究会 2023-09-01 eng departmental bulletin paper VoR http://hdl.handle.net/10965/0002000166 https://ksu.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2000166 AA1167166X 1347-5304 京都マネジメント・レビュー Kyoto Management Review 43 43 54 https://ksu.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2000166/files/KMR_43_43.pdf application/pdf 398 KB 2024-04-25
