*Panel title: Governance for a sustainable economy*
Convener: Sina Leipold, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg
Chair: Julia Schwanholz, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
In a world of global flows of goods, services, finance, and data, new
economic models are on the rise. The sharing economy, the circular
economy, the bio-economy, the performance economy or the economy 4.0
cover just some of the terms used to describe this development. Although
each describes a different economic model, they all share the idea to
use the world’s resources in a more efficient way and, thus, produce
social, environmental, and economic benefits. Therefore, more and more
policy makers, businesses and NGOs view them as pathways to meet several
of the Sustainable Development Goals. As such, each of these models is
connected to considerable expectations. At the same time, we know very
little about (1) the social, environmental, and economic trade-offs
these new models might produce and (2) how these could be met by
regulatory processes. On that basis, this panel aims to initiate a
structured discussion of these new economic models from a
social/political/legal perspective. In order to facilitate exchange,
this panel asks for empirical studies of these models as well as
theoretical contributions to conceptualize them in relation to
sustainability governance. Disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary
work is welcome.
Possible research questions include, for instance:
* Which new socio-economic dynamics are produced by these models? In
what aspects are they novel?
* What new political dynamics/power structures are produced by the new
economic models? What is challenged?
* What new regulatory challenges and regulatory trade-offs emerge from
such changes?
* How are the new models discussed/understood differently across
municipalities/states /regions and with what effects for their
local/national/global regulation?
Kind regards,
