“…ESA is inspired by approaches developed in sociology [56,57], and organizational innovation studies [58,59], and has been applied before in studies of collaboration on industrial symbiosis [60], in studies of the durability of Chinese circular economy policies [61], and in a study of the evolution of environmental policy in the Dutch Chemical Sector [62]. In the application of ESA, the units of analysis are events and the relationships between these events.…”

Abstract:Since 2013, the Chinese central government has pushed cooperation on environmental governance in Urban Agglomerations (UAs). In some of these UAs, cities have previously been developing environmental governance activities autonomously, in the absence of inter-city cooperation, while on others, spontaneous cooperation has previously taken place. These differences in historical context provide us with an opportunity to study, in a comparative way, how a history of cooperation influences the effectiveness of inter-city cooperation on environmental governance. Our approach to carrying out this comparison is to reconstruct the trajectories of events that describe the evolution of environmental governance in two UAs (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta), covering the period from the early 90s to 2016. The main findings of this study are that the trajectory of environmental governance in a historical context of prior spontaneous cooperation is more effective in achieving goal intertwinement than that in a historical context of no prior cooperation; and that informal forms of cooperation, along with decentralized coordination by local actors, are critical and more influential in bringing about more effective cooperation. On the other hand, in a historical context of no prior cooperation there is an opportunity to design a cooperative structure from scratch; in this process attention should be paid to the creation of an equal playing ground, with balanced costs and benefits for all partners. By contrast, cooperation on environmental governance in a context where there is a history of spontaneous cooperation the central government can still play a role in the further facilitation of cooperation.

“…By definition circular economy is viewed as an industrial system designed or intended to be restorative or regenerative (Mathews & Tan, 2011;Zlyvko et al 2014;Haas et a., 2015;Čábelková et al, 2015;Hobson, 2016;Jiao & Boons, 2017;Murray, Skene & Haynes, 2017; and promoted by scholars, policy makers, NGOs, corporations.

Jiaoa and Boons (2015) aimed to reveal the processes that are needed to bring about policy durability, in order to assess its impact on the successful stimulation of SIC.

Developing circular economy is an important consideration for economic transformation. The resource-exhausted cities should pay more attention to circular economy development. The authors of this paper make a prompt attempt to develop an early warning system of circular economy through the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. In the first instance, the model determines the target value of circular economy development, and then comprehensively measures the circulation economy development with respect to the current situation of the development. In the subsequent stage of the research, a system for the optimisation of industrial structure is developed to determine the need to upgrade the industry. The level of cycle economic development in ZaoZhuang is a moderate warning. The result of this paper carries immense significance for the further development of circular economy in ZaoZhuang.Keywords: fuzzy comprehensive evaluation; FCE; early warning system; cycle economic development.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Li, L., Ma, J. and Zhan, X.
