Understanding the Boomerang Effect

The video explores the concept of the boomerang effect, where tools and processes developed for foreign intervention are used domestically. It identifies three channels through which this occurs: human capital, administrative dynamics, and physical capital. The human capital channel involves skills acquired during foreign interventions being applied domestically. The administrative dynamics channel refers to the adoption of bureaucratic and militaristic structures. The physical capital channel involves the use of tools like drones and surveillance techniques domestically.
