In Resource Nationalism in Indonesia, Eve Warburton traces
nationalist policy trajectories in Indonesia back to the
preferences of big local business interests. Commodity booms often
prompt more nationalist policy styles in resource-rich countries.
Usually, this nationalist push weakens once a boom is over. But in
Indonesia, a major global exporter of coal, palm oil, nickel, and
other minerals, the intensity of nationalist policy interventions
increased after the early twenty-first-century commodity boom came
to an end. Equally puzzling, the state applied nationalist policies
unevenly across the land and resource sectors. Resource Nationalism
in Indonesia explains these trends by examining the economic and
political benefits that accrue to domestic business actors when
commodity prices soar. Warburton shows how the centrality of
patronage to Indonesia's democratic political economy, and the
growing importance of mining and palm oil as drivers of export
earnings, enhanced both the instrumental and structural power of
major domestic companies, giving them new influence over the
direction of nationalist change.
