Abstract At the heart of debates around internal diversity within specific national contexts lie the questions of social action and the relative impact of institutional concentrations at spatial, industrial and specific hierarchical levels. Internal diversity represents the product of specific historical legacies and the uneven nature of change, the effects of transnational players and regulation, the operation of complementarity, and of regional and sectoral dynamics. This article introduces a range of perspectives on conceptualizing internal diversity within national manifestations of capitalism, and provides a framework for the subsequent articles that constitute this special issue.
