本文分析了马来西亚油棕种植园公司在印度尼西亚的区域化。这些公司涉嫌放火清理土地用于种植，导致跨境雾霾。本文认为，尽管雾霾给他们的祖国带来了可怕的后果，但由于马来西亚政府精英在这些公司中的密切庇护关系和既得利益，这些马来西亚投资者仍然能够不受惩罚地烧毁。正因为如此，马来西亚政府倾向于保护和捍卫这些公司在印度尼西亚的行为免受此类指控，而马来西亚公众却继续遭受阴霾。
This paper analyses the regionalization of Malaysian oil palm plantation firms into Indonesia. These firms have been implicated in starting fires to clear land for planting, which has resulted in transboundary haze. This paper argues that these Malaysian investors have been able to burn with impunity, despite the dire consequences of haze on their home country, because of the close patronage relationships and vested interests of the Malaysian government elites in these companies. Because of this, the home government is inclined to protect and defend the actions of these firms in Indonesia against such allegations, while the Malaysian public continues to suffer the haze.
