Wha is he Ci cula Economy?
To me, he ci cula economy is p obably he nex s ep in he e olu ion o
en i onmen al ecology, whe e he economy and he en i onmen eally
emb ace each o he and change he wo ld (Si a, 2015)�
The abo e s a emen e lec s he abs ac hopes and isions ha shine

o Co po a e Responsibili y o Konec anes, a la ge Finnish company. She
pa icipa ed in a panel discussion ha discussed he oppo uni ies and
challenges o he CE in p ac ice (Si a, 2015). He message is s ong, hope ul
and o wa d looking; bu a he same ime qui e abs ac . Wha does i

is p ima ily abou en i onmen al p oblems and sus ainabili y issues ha

issues (e.g. And ews, 2015).
On a gene al le el, CE hinking conce ns emodelling he economic
sys em. The CE is he opposi e o he cu en ly p e ailing model, he
linea economy, which is based on he logic o “ ake-make-use-dispose”.
This logic does no conside su icien ly he ma e ial bounda ies o he
plane . The linea economy es s on he assump ion ha he e is plen y
o “ ake” and always space o “disposal”. Fo he linea model o h i e,

g owing amoun s o “ aking”, and, a he o he end, g owing amoun s o
“disposing” (And ews, 2015; Ju gile ich e al., 2016; Webs e , 2013).

“a b oad concep o idea used loosely o encompass and accoun o a se o

he same umb ella-like, change making objec i e, ools and p ac ices can

change does no necessa ily come easily.
C ea ing Momen um o Socie al Change
Fo an abs ac idea o gene a e socie al change, a se o di e gen and
in luen ial ac o s need o mobilise behind i . La ely, CE hinking has been
gaining such momen um ac oss Eu ope. The idea has been p omo ed
ac i ely by he Eu opean Union (EU), wi h he Eu opean Commission
p esen ing a CE policy package in 2015. The Eu opean Commission
does no see he CE only as a la ge-scale s uc u al change o guide he

he compe i i e ad an age, business oppo uni ies, and job c ea ion.
In Eu ope, he CE s a ed o make i s way in o public discou se as a esul

hese p ac ices is ecycling. O he examples include was e u ilisa ion,

Locked in o he Old Ways o Doing Things
In his sec ion, I will discuss he complex socio-ins i u ional playing ield
whe e he ans o ma ion owa ds he CE is being d i en. As he p e ious
sec ion showed, he e is momen um o change. Bu when conside ing
he agenda o CE hinking, he magni ude o he change equi ed is huge.
Changing he p e ailing logic o how esou ces a e mo ed and channelled in
he economy is a all o de (c . wicked p oblems). Such change is challenging
o wo easons. Fi s , he old ways o doing hings – he incumben
echnologies and p ac ices – a e likely esis an o change. Second, he
socio-ins i u ional en i onmen whe e change is d i en is complex.
The con empo a y socio-ins i u ional en i onmen has become mo e
complex and polycen ic om he pe spec i e o powe dis ibu ion. This
also ela es o he ansi ion “ om go e nmen o go e nance.” In p ac ice,

socie al de elopmen should be s ee ed. These ac o s include co po a ions,

hey o en ha e di e ging in e es s. The polycen ic powe dis ibu ion
and he di e ences o in e es s enhance he ole o dependencies and
ne wo ks be ween ac o s in he p ocess o s ee ing socie al de elopmen .
I is unlikely ha a single ac o can de ine he di ec ion o de elopmen .
Ins ead, he objec i es o de elopmen and means o p oceed mus be

is no in he in e es s o all pa ies (E ans, 2012; Meadowc o , 2007;
Pie e, 2000; Pie e & Pe e s, 2000).
The concep o lock-in explains why he old ways o doing hings enjoy
huge ad an ages compa ed o adically new echnologies and p ac ices.
I illus a es ypes o di icul ies change make s a e up agains , as change

James Meadowc o (2009, p. 329) no es:

O e u ning he old ways o doing hings is ha d e en when incumben

Ideological S ee ing: The In e play
Be ween he Conc e e and he B oad
Ken Webs e (2013), Head o Inno a ion a he Ellen MacA hu Founda ion,
has lis ed six emp a ions o be a oided when alking abou he CE. The

Acco ding o Webs e (2013), he p oblem o being oo conc e e is

encapsula es he in e play o he conc e e and he b oad in e ms o

ideological s ee ing as “ he de elopmen o se s o in e - ela ed ideas ha

in luence ac i i ies a all le els.” Ideological s ee ing shows how concep s
such as sus ainable de elopmen (SD) and he CE use hei abs ac and
o e a ching na u e o hei bene i . These concep s can exceed he lines
o poli ical posi ioning, bu hey can also wo k as a amewo k o building
poli ical a gumen s. In his way, a se o ideas can c ea e consensus and
p o ide ammuni ion in deba es. To illus a e, sus ainable de elopmen is
commonly de ined as “de elopmen ha mee s he needs o he p esen
wi hou comp omising he abili y o u u e gene a ions o mee hei own

41). Tha de ini ion ises o he le el o he “common good,” and i is easy
o ag ee wi h and di icul o di ec ly a gue agains . S ill, he e is plen y o
oom o deba e abou SD. Decla a ions o he “common good” ype do
no answe he ques ion o how SD is o be achie ed.
Fo ideological s ee ing o wo k, abs ac and o e a ching concep s

When analysing he p omo ion o he CE om he poin o iew o
