An archipelago that is home to some 242m people, Indonesia is among the world's most resource-rich emerging markets. The country has longstanding diplomatic ties with international players like the US and China, and plays a key role in both the regional and international economies. Although it is a leading palm oil and rubber producer, with significant coal and gold resources, the government is also attempting to encourage high-tech and knowledge-based sectors. The recovery from the global downturn saw some volatility in the financial system in early 2010 as a result of large inflows and outflows, however, the situation had stabilised by August. Massive infrastructure spending on development projects will not only result in ample opportunity for investment in the years to come, but is likewise expected to provide the basis for long-term economic expansion. Continued political stability is also a key asset, strengthening Indonesia's international standing and attracting foreign investors.

On the cusp of 2014 national elections and the 2015 integration of the ASEAN Economic Community, Indonesia is poised to continue its rapid economic expansion. While the country’s natural resources are still plentiful, by channelling foreign direct investment into the right areas, the government is ensuring that true potential, in terms of value and manufacturing, is achieved. By inviting targeted investment and adapting existing regulatory frameworks, the government has taken significant steps to facilitate foreign investment and the development of value-added industries.

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.

"Buku CEO Wisdom ini menapak-tilasi 26 tokoh bisnis yang mayoritas sampai buku ini terbit masih berkarya. Ditambah dua pemimpin bisnis dari luar, yaitu Akio Toyoda (CEO Toyota Corporation) dan Steve Jobs (CEO Apple Inc) yang bisa dijadikan pembanding kepemimpinan mereka. Tidak banyak buku yang membahas peran CEO?Pemimpin Bisnis `asli` Indonesia. Alhasil rekam jejak pemimpin bisnis asli Indonesia tenggelam oleh kebesaran pemimpin bisnis luar. Jika pemimpin bisnis luar sudah banyak diulas oleh media massa luar, kebesaran mereka bertambah-tambah karena media lokal dan penulis buku lokal sering mengutip dan menampilkan profil mereka. Akibatnya pembaca lebih mengenal sepak terjang katakanlah Warren Buffett, George Soros, dan Bill Gates ketimbang Agung Adiprasetyo, Ferry Soetikno, dan Michael Ruslim. Dari 26 tokoh bisnis yang ditampilkan di buku ini rata-rata generasi kedua pemilik atau CEO generasi muda. Dengan demikian mayoritas tokoh bisnis ini masih berkiprah di perusahaan masing-masing dengan tantangan dan peluang yang dihadapi. Ujian mereka sebagai pemimpin unggul dan kelak dicatat dengan tinta emas masih berlangsung."
