Strategies for the Circular Economy Circular Districts and Networks

Strategies for the Circular Economy Circular Districts and Networks

This book illustrates two approaches for firms to shape successful circular strategies namely the Circular Economy and Circular Districts. The former considers firms’ challenges when turning theoretical circular models into practice. Thus it discusses the opportunities and difficulties in reshaping corporate strategies by reflecting on circular economy principles. The latter approach plays a new role within the new economy systems and this book conceptualizes and operationalizes its definition. The circular district can represent an effective way to accelerate the energy transition process by developing industrial collaborations and exploiting technology synergies to enhance circularity and achieve economic environmental and social targets. The book highlights how firms should adjust their strategic thinking redesign their network of relationships and reconsider the value creation process when the circular economy is a concrete option. Furthermore it examines the evolution from circular economy to circular districts by revealing the motivations that push firms and supply chains to redesign their strategies by considering the perspective of a circular district. The book ends by analyzing business experiences in these two areas and proposes advancements for both the scientific community and the business world. The book offers a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical applications and will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of sustainable operations closed-loop supply chain green supply chain management and circular supply chains. Also the operationalization of the concept of circular districts offers a genuine and original theoretical contribution thus targeting students from Executive programs MBA programs and PhD programs. The book will also attract managers practitioners and professionals interested in real-world cases and experiences as well as practical developments in the domain. | Strategies for the Circular Economy Circular Districts and Networks

Brokering Circular Labour MigrationA Mobile Ethnography of Migrant Care Workers’ Journey to Switzerland

Brokering Circular Labour MigrationA Mobile Ethnography of Migrant Care Workers’ Journey to Switzerland

This book examines the commercialisation of domestic and care work through private agencies that organise transnational care arrangements by brokering migrant workers. The book focuses on the emergence of private for-profit home care agencies following the 2011 extension of the Free Movement of Workers to Eastern European Countries agreement in Switzerland. The agencies recruit migrant women from these countries and place them in private households for elderly care. This book explores how circular labour migration for these care workers is facilitated. In the form of a mobile ethnography it traces their journey from Eastern European countries to Switzerland – from when care workers find employment and are recruited by agencies to when they arrive at their designated households. From the agencies’ analytical standpoint the book examines the recruitment and placement practices of the home care agencies and their role in facilitating migration. Brokering Labour Migration offers an understanding of new migration patterns and highlights fundamental changes in migration control with the extension of free movement of workers in Switzerland to lower-wage countries in Eastern Europe. It will be an invaluable resource for academics and scholars of geography anthropology sociology and gender and migration.

Gods and Goddesses in Ancient Italy

Gods and Goddesses in Ancient Italy

This collection explores the multifaceted nature of the gods and goddesses worshipped in ancient Italy. It examines Italic Etruscan and Latin deities in context and in the material remains and also in the Greco-Roman written record and later scholarship which drew on these texts. Many deities were worshipped in ancient Italy by different individuals and communities using different languages at different sanctuaries and for very different reasons. This multiplicity creates challenges for modern historians of antiquity at different levels. How do we cope with it? Can we reduce it to the conceptual unity necessary to provide a meaningful historical interpretation? To what extent can deities named in different languages be considered the equivalent of one another (e.g. Artemis and Diana)? How can we interpret the visual representations of deities that are not accompanied by written text? Can we reconstruct what these deities meant to their local worshippers although the overwhelming majority of our sources were written by Romans and Greeks? The contributors of this book a group of ten scholars from the UK Italy France and Poland offer different perspectives on these problems each concentrating on a particular god or goddess. Gods and Goddesses in Ancient Italy offers an invaluable resource for anyone working on ancient Roman and Italian religion.

Nature and Economic Society A Classical-Keynesian Synthesis

Nature and Economic Society A Classical-Keynesian Synthesis

This book focuses on the interrelationship between nature and the human economy. Building upon his decades of research into classical and Keynesian economics Tony Aspromourgos here turns his attention to the interrelationship between nature and the human economy. The result is a tightly argued concise but comprehensive interpretation of that vital issue undertaken in the framework of a Classical-Keynesian synthesis. The classical dimension is utilization of a surplus approach to production and distribution and the Keynesian dimension incorporation of demand-side determination of economic activity levels and growth. In this conception the human economy is understood as a circular flow but an incompletely circular system: crucially dependent upon nature both as a source of finite non-renewable and exhaustible resources for human production and consumption and as the destination or ‘sink’ also finite for the waste and pollution from that production and consumption. This is an introductory account of the subject providing maximum accessibility by presupposing only basic knowledge of economic analysis and only elementary algebra but including a wide-ranging guide to further and more advanced relevant literature. Part I provides a comprehensive overview of the Classical-Keynesian approach in the usual manner of economic analysis without systematic incorporation of nature. Part II then incorporates the various dimensions of the natureeconomy interrelationship. This book will be of great interest to readers of economic theory economics and the environment and heterodox economics. | Nature and Economic Society A Classical-Keynesian Synthesis

Recycling Infrastructures in Cambodia Circularity Waste and Urban Life in Phnom Penh

Recycling Infrastructures in Cambodia Circularity Waste and Urban Life in Phnom Penh

This book examines the recycling infrastructure in Phnom Penh Cambodia. It considers the circular flows of waste and practices through ‘infracycles’ maintenance practices that tinker with the social and capitalist order and postcolonial ways of doing politics that co-constitute predominant waste fantasies from which naturecultures ooze out shaping urban life in their own way. In this context socially marginalized waste pickers contest the capitalist system by creating tropes about freedom labor autonomy and the will to survive. In this regard they are also meddling about a new social order that represents the fine line Cambodia is sashaying between tradition and modernity. Waste fantasies that are a result of environmental problematizations however perpetuate postcolonial ways of doing politics by exuding notions of waste as detached from its sociocultural context. But ultimately waste slips through the cracks of these dominant imaginaries and global waste reduction models enacting new versions of what waste and the city is providing opportunities for another future waste policy. This book is a unique contribution to the field of infrastructure studies emphasizing the importance of perceiving infrastructure as circular in smaller ‘infracycles’ rather than linear. It will be of interest to researchers in the field of environmental anthropology science and technology studies urban studies and Southeast Asian studies.

The Mediations of Music Critical Approaches after Adorno

The Mediations of Music Critical Approaches after Adorno

Adorno believed that a circular relationship was established between immediacy and mediation. Should we now say that this model with its clear Hegelian influence is outdated? Or does it need some theoretical integration? This volume addresses these questions by covering the performance of music its technological reproduction and its modes of communication – in particular pedagogy and dissemination through the media. Each of the book’s four parts deal with different aspects of the mediation process. The contributing authors outline the problematic moments in Adorno’s reasoning but also highlight its potential. In many chapters the pole of immediacy is explicitly brought into play its different manifestations often proving to be fundamental for the understanding of mediation processes. The prime reference sources are Adorno’s Current of Music Towards a Theory of Musical Reproduction and Composing for the Films. Critical readings of these texts are supplemented by reflections on performance studies media theories sociology of listening post-structuralism and other contiguous research fields. | The Mediations of Music Critical Approaches after Adorno

The Experience of TimePsychoanalytic Perspectives

The Experience of TimePsychoanalytic Perspectives

In contemporary psychoanalysis the concepts of time and history have become increasingly complex. It is evident that this trend offers us an opportunity to think about the intercrossing of the different temporal dimensions imbuing the subject an inevitable aspect of the analytic process. History is time past but what is recovered is now the working through of the subject history which carries the mark of both passing time and re-signifying time. It is precisely the notion of history that gains different dimensions when a purely deterministic analysis is disassembled. Continuities and breaks are found between subjective time and chronological time; between the inevitable decrepitude of the biological body with the passing of time and the timelessness of the unconscious; between linear circular times and retroactive re-signification; between facts screen memories memory and the work of constructing history; between the times of repetition and the times of difference; between reversible and irreversible time; between the timelessness of the unconscious and the temporalities of the ego.

Global Perspectives on Changing Secondhand Economies

Global Perspectives on Changing Secondhand Economies

Providing interdisciplinary and global perspectives this book examines historical and contemporary changes in secondhand economies including the emergence and specialization of secondhand venues the materials involved as well as the cultural significance of secondhand things and the professions associated with them. The objects in focus range from used clothing scrap and waste materials to antiquities and used cars thrift stores and circular economies. Growing concerns with sustainability in the West have helped bring about the ‘rediscovery’ of practices of clothing re-use re-purposing and re-cycling at the same time as major high-street retailers are establishing programs to return used clothing to their stores for re-sale or recycling. As the contributions to this edited volume demonstrate recent concerns with the fast pace and adverse effects of global commodity flows have increased the scholarly attention to secondhand economies both in terms of their history and their significance for livelihoods and sustainability.

Strategic Management and Sustainability Transitions Theory and Practice

Strategic Management and Sustainability Transitions Theory and Practice

The subject of sustainability transitions has in the past decade or so become an established research field for academics policy makers and practitioners alike. Conceptual and theoretical developments in the filed have gradually advanced from the perspectives of socio-technical systems and business models. Scholars contend that it is the interactions of the networks of actors technologies and institutions that drive transition processes toward sustainability. In this volume we further advance this line of inquiry with a special reference to strategic management of sustainability transitions in both theory and practice. In theoretical development we have selected three chapters to encompass the themes of (1) the interactions between ecological systems and human systems; (2) a critique on the continuous expansion of large multinational companies and their strategic control of key resource inputs through the lenses of circular economy and natural resource-based view; and (3) a multi-stakeholder ecosystems framework for the management of sustainability transitions with structural alignment of focal value propositions. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are critically addressed and empirically examined. It will become an essential reader and a reference book for researchers and postgraduate students interested in strategic management international business innovation studies consumer behavior and public administration. | Strategic Management and Sustainability Transitions Theory and Practice
