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

Social and Cultural Aspects of the Circular Economy Toward Solidarity and Inclusivity

Social and Cultural Aspects of the Circular Economy Toward Solidarity and Inclusivity

This collection of essays brings together discussions arguing that the circular economy must be linked to society and culture in order to create a viable concept for remodelling the economy. Covering a diverse range of topics and regions including cities and living food and human waste packaging and law fashion design and art this book provides a multi-layered examination of circularity. Transitioning to a circular economy reducing resource input and waste and narrowing material and energy loops are becoming an increasingly important targets to combat decades of unsustainable models of consumption. However they will require a significant shift in social and cultural thinking and these dimensions have not yet been factored into policy debates and frameworks. While recognising the key role of individual consumers and their behaviours the book goes beyond this singular perspective to provide equal focus on institutional and political structures as necessary drivers for real change. Social and Cultural Aspects of the Circular Economy argues for a social and solidarity economy (SSE) to combine individual actions with a wider cultural shift. It will be an important read for scholars researchers students and policy-makers in the circular economy waste studies consumption and other environmentally focused social sciences. | Social and Cultural Aspects of the Circular Economy Toward Solidarity and Inclusivity

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.
