Spanish term or phrase: se re-estataliza
For translation to British English.

En 2014, lo regional está en crisis: los estados no se desmoronan, al contrario, la política internacional se **re-estataliza**, o renacionaliza. Las ciudades no sólo se posicionan con más fuerza en el mundo, sino que son (como antaño) el lugar privilegiado de la acumulación de capital y la producción de riqueza, a la vez las economías urbanas no están ya circunscritas a un ámbito estatal.

re-statalizes
Explanation:
"statalization" is a concept from historical sociology and international relations, it doesn't mean to nationalize as opposed to privatize. It refers to process of development of the state attributes, as defined in classical texts of historical sociology (for example Oszlak).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Virginia, I thought of this but then what do I do with 'renacionaliza' ? Or is there just one word for the same thing in English?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Joss Heywood: They are two words for the same thing - here in Argentina they say "re-estatiza" as well.

  -> Thanks, Joss!
neutral  DLyons: "re-nationalise" doesn't work in UK English.// That's why. Your link is to a totally different concept.

  -> Why not? Maybe "renationalised" but there are hundred of entries in UK newspapers and other sites. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-22700805

localize itself


Explanation:
As in "Think Globally, act locally".

"Re-states" itself may work as a play on words.

For me, "re-nationalise" is something totally different.

If it's EU, maybe " re-statalization" is suitably bureaucratic: "growing turn to resource nationalism and re-statalization of large segments of the economy"

reverting to the States[, or renationalis/sing]


Explanation:
'International policy is reverting to the States, or renationalizing'

I would use a paraphrase for "re-estataliza" and keep the cognate for "renacionaliza," since it's already in your text. By defining the term first, you can get away with using the cognate, even if it's questionable. Standing alone, it would be unclear.
