Nationalisation is bringing an industry under state control or ownership. In the UK, many industries - including the railways, coal, gas and electricity - were brought under state control by the Labour government after the Second World War. Any profits the industry made went to the country, not shareholders. Many UK industries were privatised following the election of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in 1979. See also privatisation.
Non-governmental organisation is a non-profit group or charity that works to promote social or political change at a local, national or international level.
