Abstract

Joining the Dots: Understanding late industrialisers’ national- and international business systems

A longstanding gap in comparative capitalism (CC) research is its exclusive focus on national institutions; largely disregarding how national business systems interact with the global economy. The links between the national and the global are important particularly for business systems of late industrialisers, and differ from early industrialisers, for at least three reasons: (i) late industrialisers participate in global value chains predominantly in lower tiers as suppliers rather than lead firms, (ii) they have less control over the international financial system and capital flows, and (iii) they have been affected by the global movement of people not only through immigration but also emigration.

Some CC research has started acknowledging the importance of the international: The Dependent Market Economies concept hints at the role of ‘the international’ by focussing on FDI (Nölke and Vliegenthart 2009). Similarly, the Growth Model Perspective, creates space to bring ‘the international’ back into CPE by recognising that export-led economies rely on demand outside the country’s borders (Baccaro and Pontusson 2016). Yet, these insights have not been systematically theorised. Schedelik et al. (2020) have proposed a parsimonious general model that categorises economies according to the “openness” or “closedness” to international economic flows. We argue that a more fine-grained categorisation based on a broader range of linkages of countries with the global is needed.

We use cluster analysis to identify patterns of international linkages across 53 late industrialising countries. Our study builds on previous cluster analyses applied to CC (Fainshmidt et al., 2017; Witt et al. 2017), but innovates by not only identifying national economic profiles, but also international trade, capital flows and migration patterns. We thus show how national business systems are inserted in international business systems. Finally, we analyse the implications of different systems for economic development and inequality through QCA methodology (Judge et al., 2014).
