Enlarging the Varieties of Capitalism: The Emergence of Dependent Market Economies in East Central Europe

handle is hein.journals/wpot61 and id is 724 raw text is: ENLARGING THE VARIETIES OF CAPITALISM The Emergence of Dependent Market Economies in East Central Europe By ANDREAS NOLKE and ARJAN VLIEGENTHART* INTRODUCTION D URING the last few years, comparative typologies of capitalisms (comparative capitalism)' have become canonical among students of the political economy of Western societies.2 This research field has been pioneered by scholars such as Andrew Shonfield3 and popular- ized by Michael Albert,4 and the landmark volume compiled by Peter Hall and David Soskice' has both built upon and inspired many re- lated studies. The idea that the basic institutions of capitalism differ from one country to another and that these differences are not acci- dental but linked to strong institutional complementarities, has led to a very sophisticated, holistic, and easily understandable picture of the institutional complexity of advanced capitalism. Many empirical stud- ies depart from the juxtaposition of liberal market economies (LMES), typically represented by the U.S., and coordinated market economies (CMEs), typically represented by Germany. * We thank seminar and conference participants at the San Diego International Studies Association Convention, the Darmstadt meeting of the German Political Science Association; Goethe University Frankfurt; Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne; and Vrije Universiteit, Amster- dam, for comments.
