Chapter 4 in Foreign Investment and Government Policy in the Third World, 1988, pp 121-166 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Indonesian experience has been part of a larger pattern. In recent decades many Third World countries have sought to reduce the level of foreign influence over their economies. In extreme cases this has resulted in nationalization of foreign-owned industries or companies.1 More typically, however, local governments have increased local economic autonomy through less draconian measures while still using foreign capital and know-how to their advantage.
