    The Use of Knowledge in Counterinsurgency
    (2020) Devon Miller
    The security, governance, and development dimensions of counterinsurgency are examined through different economic lenses. Virginia Political Economy informs the effectiveness of targeted killing campaigns in creating security. Austrian Economics illuminates the performance of economic development initiatives. Finally, Institutional Economics guides an evaluation of competing strategies to achieve governance objectives. The generation, transmission, and consumption of information underlies all three cases, as the ultimate fitness of an organization, an economy, or an institution relies on its use of knowledge.
