Higher education is, effectively, a major American export — and one where the foreign students consuming it do so in American communities, also spending money on housing, groceries and books there.

Development aid is often seen as a counterinsurgency tool. But do civilians always credit the government or aid agencies for these projects? In my new article at JOGSS, I argue that armed groups can hijack the reputational benefits of aid by claiming credit for its distribution.
