Rather, as we have seen in other parts of the world (such as Venezuela, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia), the economic and political outcomes in Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan clearly depend upon their strategies toward developing these resources. Likewise, although it is virtually impossible for the energyrich states of Central Asia to avoid entanglement in international affairs, whether these relations are peaceful or conflictual also depends upon the particular strategies they choose to pursue.

In their desperate attempt to find a solution, as well as to avoid taking (their share of) the blame, both sides have cited separate causes. International lenders claim that the primary source of Russia's economic ills is the government's poor fiscal policies, while Russian leaders attribute their woes to the unexpected fall in international oil prices and the financial turmoil in Asia. Still others blame the International Monetary Fund (IMF) itself for insisting upon a monetary policy that was ultimately untenable given Russia's social and economic conditions.

Several prominent Latin American NOCs are part of this trend, including Brazil’s Petrobras, Mexico’s Pemex, and Venezuela’s PdVSA. Yet Latin America is precisely where we should expect NOCs to face the greatest obstacles to internationalization. Existing research emphasizes the role of structural changes at the international level and the inherent advantages of NOCs at the domestic level in creating both a uniform desire and capacity across NOCs to internationalize successfully in the 2000s. Even more puzzling, then, is that these three Latin American NOCs vary considerably in terms of both the timing of internationalization and the degree to which they succeeded. We offer an alternative explanation for this variation that specifies the domestic political conditions under which an NOC had the greatest capacity to internationalize in the 2000s: 1) a consensual mode of emergence in which the nationalization process was carried out amicably; and 2) an early convergence of interests between NOC managers and the government regarding the merits of internationalization. Thus, contra forecasts that the dominance of NOCs in global energy markets is inevitable, our research suggests that international economic expansion is constrained by domestic politics.
