Greening
Growing Giants
Deadline: April 30, 2011 - Extended to May 31, 2011
The Journal of Industrial Ecology invites you to submit articles for a special issue on Greening Growing Giants by April 30, 2011. Seiji Hashimoto of the National Institute for Environmental Studies (Japan), Sangwon Suh of the University of California, Santa Barbara (USA), Xuemei Bai, of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (Australia), and Marina Fischer-Kowalski, of the SEC - Social Ecology (Austria), will serve as co-editors of the special issue.
Questions relevant to
this special issue include but are not
limited to: What quantities of resources will be required globally in
the near
future, given the current dynamics of per capita resource use in
developing
countries? What role does the demand in industrial countries, and
international
trade, play in raising consumption levels in emerging economies? How
much CO2
and/or pollutants will be produced through the resource use? What will
be the
technological potential for the reduction of resource demand and
emissions?
What are alternative development paths with low materials consumption
and low
emissions? What is the role of innovative practices at local level,
especially
in cities, in achieving alternative, more sustainable development
pathways?
What kind of policies, tools and practices are effective in achieving
alternative development pathways?
This special issue
will focus on rapidly industrializing
economies – “Growing Giants” – and discuss approaches for “Greening
Growing
Giants”. We call for papers that attempt to answer important questions
on
global, national, and urban levels including those posed above. Papers
should explicitly relate
to relevant scholarship in industrial ecology and should comply with
the state
of the art methodology in material flow analysis, life cycle assessment
and
related analytical techniques and should be cognizant of current
practice and
policy.
In addition to an open call for papers, the editors of the special issue particularly welcome submissions of papers from the ISIE Asia-Pacific Meeting in Tokyo in November, 2010. We especially encourage submissions from industrializing countries.
How to Submit
Manuscripts should be
original,
previously unpublished, in English, and between 3,500 and 7,000 words
in
length including references. Submission implies that the manuscript has
not been submitted
for
publication elsewhere and that it will not be submitted elsewhere
while
the review process is underway. All
submissions will
be reviewed according to the Journal's
standard single-blind peer
review
process. Provide a list of 5 recommended reviewers and a list of any
potential
reviewers that you would prefer that we not use (e.g., with conflict of
interest). Papers should be submitted electronically via ScholarOne
Manuscripts
(formerly called Manuscript Central) at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jie. Please
indicate that this
is a submission for the
“Greening Growing Giants” issue on the
author checklist
during the submission process. Details about the preparation of the
manuscript
can be obtained from the Journal's Web page or from the
editor.
