Formation, Development and Acceptance of International Norms - A Case of Sound Material-cycle Society Making in Europe and East Asia

在物质循环良性社会建设领域，虽然尚未形成国际机制，但国际规范在各个国家和城市之间都有一定程度的影响。EPR原则（生产者延伸责任）起源于瑞典，并于20世纪90年代在欧洲和经合组织国家传播。生产者延伸责任原则就是其中之一。21世纪世纪以来，生产者责任延伸原则在非经合组织国家中迅速发展，本研究探讨了这一国际规范形成和发展的原因和过程，并对生产者责任延伸原则在国际、地区、国家和地方层面的互动过程进行了实证性的梳理和梳理。本研究还通过分析国家政府、地方政府、生产者、相关企业和公民等行为体之间的相互作用，调查了瑞典国家和地方对EPR原则的接受和实施情况，并与日本的情况进行了比较。

In the field of sound material-cycle society making, international norms have certain degrees of influence between each country and city, although an international regime has not established. The Principle of EPR (extended producer responsibility) originated in Sweden and spread across Europe and OECD countries in the 1990s. The EPR Principle is among such norms. The beginning of the 21st century witnessed a rapid expansion of the EPR Principle among non-OECD countries.This study explored how and why this international norm was formed and developed, and empirically traced and clarified the cycle of the EPR principle within interactions among international, regional, national and local levels. This study also investigated the national and local acceptance and implementation of the EPR principle in Sweden by analyzing interactions among actors, namely national government, local government, producers, relevant companies, and citizens, and compared those with the case of Japan.
