VERA-ACEVEDO, Luz Dinora  and  RAUFLLET, Emmanuel. Analysis of Circular Economy Strategies in Colombia Based on Two Models. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2022, n.64, pp.27-52.  Epub Mar 01, 2023. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n64a02.

The purpose of this article is to show the results of the review of the scope and limitations of the National Circular Economy Strategy (ENEC) of the Colombian government based on the analytical models of the policy mix and the twelve circular strategies. The main results of this research are three. First, the ENEC mobilizes several typical public policy instruments to contribute to the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. Second, the ENEC focuses on industrial sectors in general and on the last link in the production chain. Third, although the circular economy has the potential to link policies related to the prevention of resource use and consumer behavior, these preventive dimensions are still incipient in the version of the ENEC analyzed. The articulation of business-state-academia policies with small and informal producers, as well as with rural and urban communities, is necessary to achieve a transition towards a more inclusive and integrative circular economy.
