Resource Nationalism: A Return to the Bad Old Days? | Practical Law
This article discusses the expropriation and nationalization by States of foreign-owned natural resource assets for strategic or nationalistic reasons (also known as resource nationalism), including the different methods they use to obtain control of, or derive more economic benefit from, these assets.
