From the perspective of institutional economics within which the research concerning capitalism diversity is conducted, the capitalist system is not homogenous, and a universal model of a capitalist economy cannot be indicated. According to several researchers, the nature of capitalism implies the policy, whereas the nature of interactions between the political and social spheres is decisive for the capitalist system. The shift of economic power to emerging markets caused an increased interest in these economies and a search for the models of capitalism distinctive for them. The paper aims to present selected approaches to research on capitalism diversity and to explain the specific character of the model of capitalism from this perspective. The paper contributes to the understanding of the complexity of the Chinese socioeconomic system, while emphasising the specific synergy between politics and economics.

Z perspektywy ekonomii instytucjonalnej, w ramach której prowadzone są badania dotyczące różnorodności kapitalizmu, system kapitalistyczny nie jest homogeniczny i nie można wskazać uniwersalnego modelu gospodarki kapitalistycznej. Zdaniem niektórych badaczy natura kapitalizmów implikuje politykę, a charakter interakcji między sferą polityczną a gospodarczą jest determinujący dla systemu kapitalistycznego. Przesunięcie siły ekonomicznej do rynków wschodzących spowodowało wzrost zainteresowania tymi gospodarkami i poszukiwanie dystynktywnych dla nich modeli kapitalizmu. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja wybranych podejść do badania różnorodności kapitalizmu i z tej perspektywy wyjaśnienie specyfiki chińskiego modelu kapitalizmu. Artykuł przyczynia się do zrozumienia złożoności chińskiego systemu społeczno-gospodarczego, podkreślając szczególną synergię między polityką a ekonomią.
