Capitalism is not monolithic. States' historical trajectories of development mean that the institutional basis for capitalist relations of production varies between them. The Varieties of Capitalism approach suggests that this variation is systematic, so that capitalist states fall within a spectrum between two categories: liberal market economies (LMEs) and coordinated market economies (CMEs). This has implications not just for how advanced, industrialised states coordinate their economies, but also how they address environmental concerns such as climate change. This seminar will outline some of the implications, both in general and for China specifically as it continues to integrate in the global economy.
