To analyze how scientific literature reinforces policy coherence as a key factor for circular economy implementation, highlighting challenges in developed and developing regions and the need to adapt policies to diverse national and subnational realities.
Relevance / originality
The study links the global discussion on policy coherence to circular economy specificities, highlighting the importance of context-adapted policies and offering a comparative perspective between developed and developing countries.
Methodology / approach
A qualitative, exploratory approach based on systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis, using Bibliometrix to identify patterns, connections, and gaps related to policy coherence and policy adaptation for different contexts.
Main results
Findings confirm policy coherence as decisive for circular economy implementation, with distinct challenges in developed and developing countries, reinforcing the urgency of policies adjusted to different scales and territorial realities.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
Advances understanding of the relationship between policy coherence and circular economy, combining systematic review and bibliometrics to reveal comparative patterns and propose analytical bases applicable to different territorial contexts.
Social / management contributions
Provides input for more effective, context-adapted public policies, guiding managers in formulating strategies coherent with local conditions and aligned with specific challenges of developed and developing countries.
