renationalizing
Returning to government
Renationalizing is returning a privatized industry or asset to government ownership.
The term implies previous nationalization followed by privatization: The Labour Party proposed renationalizing the railways.
Countries renationalize when private ownership is seen as failing the public interest—utilities, transportation, and natural resources are common targets.
