本文分析了瑞典媒体关于“循环经济”概念的辩论，以便对这一概念的发展和使用进行批判性反思。我们研究演员的位置是如何围绕增加循环的想法形成的。利用2012年至2019年的新闻材料，我们确定了瑞典公司、公共机构、政党和舆论制造者对循环经济的立场。我们的分析显示，尽管地方环境冲突持续存在，但这些行为者在国家层面上趋同。我们表明，这种趋同是由模糊性的召集力实现的，这使得循环经济理念的使用成为辩论中的“浮动能指”。在瑞典，作为生态现代化的一种新表达，有弹性的资本可能已经部署了循环经济的想法，以利用否则会破坏经济的过程。鼓励对循环经济理念的政治经济学进行进一步研究。
Swedish press debate regarding the idea of a ‘circular economy’ is analysed to enable critical reflection on the development and use of the concept. We examine how actor positions formed around ideas of increased circularity. Using press material from 2012 to 2019 we identify positions on circular economy taken by Swedish companies, public authorities, political parties, and opinion makers. Our analysis reveals convergence amongst these actors at the national level despite ongoing situated local environmental conflicts. We show that this convergence is enabled by the convening power of ambiguity, which characterizes the use of circular economy ideas as a ‘floating signifier’ in the debate. In Sweden ideas of a circular economy may have been deployed by resilient capital to harness an otherwise economically disruptive process, as a new expression of ecological modernization. Further research into the political economy of circular economy ideas is encouraged.
