In this episode of the New Books in Southeast Asia Podcast, Eve Warburton discusses Resource Nationalism in Indonesia: Booms, Big Business, and the State (Cornell University Press, 2023). Warburton traces nationalist policy trajectories in Indonesia back to the preferences of big local business interests. Then, Warburton shows how the centrality of patronage to Indonesia's democratic political economy, along with the growing importance of mining and palm oil, have enhanced the instrumental and structural power of major domestic companies.
