In many countries, resource nationalism has become more frequent in recent years, indeed it has been one of the key stories in 2012 as several countries have introduced new resource taxes, natural resource licence reviews and expropriation of assets from private sector companies. This Financial Times news video looks at the trends including resource nationalism within countries as provinces and regions look to exert great control on the revenues from oil, gas and mining projects.See also: Economist: Foreigners beware - oil and mining in IndonesiaResource insecurity: New report from Chatham HouseInteractive resource: New political economy of natural resources
