nationalization

a process in which a private business or industry becomes a public one operated by a national government. Nationalization may or may not involve compensation to the previous owners. Leaders may nationalize businesses or industries in order to seize greater control of profits or natural resources, but may also do so for other reasons, as when the United States nationalized the provision of airport security after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
