There are rival domestic and international explanations for the behavior of BRIC states. Narlikar (2010) considers the explanatory power of the respective perspectives by looking at the positions of three of the BRICS in a variety of arenas, such as the G8, within the IMF, and on trade matters. Her book was published at the beginning of the financial crisis. One could argue that the positions of the BRICS, and of the leading power the United States, have changed in the last decade. Can you provide two arenas where one could test the relevance of domestic and international explanations?
