The article reconsiders the mode in which capitalist diversity is conceived of in the mainstream institutionalist "comparative capitalisms" literatures. It highlights the division between centres and peripheries as a fundamental axis of differentiation that is prior to the constitution of national varieties. Thus, it introduces the "nuclei of accumulation" and "nuclei of state implication" to analyse these nuclei in part as unstable results of their relationship with global economic and political networks and transnational actors.
