Dear All, I'm pleased to share the following call for papers for the journal Frontiers in Sustainability: What is the relationship between circular economy and economic growth? Contributions are invited for a special issue of devoted to this question. The aim of the issue is to untangle the increasingly complex relationship between a circular economy and (implicit or explicit) ideas about growth. There are multiple understandings of what a circular economy is or should be achieving in sustainable development. Similarly, the concepts of post/degrowth are also contested in that the various approaches differ both in terms of the basic normative questions, the objectives, and the basic assumptions regarding the possibilities of decoupling economic growth and resource consumption. We welcome abstracts relating to one of two approaches: the notion of circular economy related to the different growth discourses and what requirements arise from the growth discourses for the form and nature of the circular economy. Deadline for abstracts 31 March 2024.
