Features: Based on the highly strained relationship between humans and nature in modern society, the social model originating from modern Western civilization has proven incapable of addressing this tension. To promote the sustainable development of human society, the circular economy model, as a sustainable development approach, has begun to emerge in developed countries and regions such as Europe, the Americas, and Japan. Building on existing, albeit scattered, research on the circular economy model, the author systematically studies and organizes the fundamental mechanisms of the formation of the circular economy model. This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth description and analysis of the causes of the formation of the circular society, the rights foundation of the circular economy model, the evolution of its responsibility mechanisms, the positioning of its production and trade mechanisms, and its consumption mechanisms. As the first domestic monograph to describe the circular economy models in developed countries and regions, it not only provides material for research on the circular economy in China but also serves as one of the references for the legislation and study of the circular economy law. The book employs an integrated analytical approach combining history, sociology, political science, and law, making it one of the reference books for academic research on the circular economy model. This book is suitable for scholars and researchers studying environmental law, economic law, and circular economy law.
