| Abstract (ENG): | Innovating in accordance with the principles of the circular economy (CE) has become very popular in the last years. At the same time, a critical debate about economic growth as a policy goal has gained momentum. It is unclear how CE is positioned in this debate. While it is typically presented as a green growth opportunity, the concept also contains sufficiency-oriented elements. This paper maps the current state of academic research about the relationship between CE and economic growth. A bibliometric keyword cooccurrence analysis revealed that CE is mainly discussed in relation to economic growth. Degrowth or sufficiency are minor keywords in this research field. A mapping literature review including 39 records identified two different research clusters. Since CE is a contested concept with inconsistent definitions and operationalizations, findings about its relationship with economic growth vary and no robust conclusions can be drawn |
