This paper explores how interventions abroad can affect domestic government activities in a way that reduces its citizens' freedoms and liberties. Although the authors' analysis is generalizable, they focus on a specific 'Great Republic' -- the US -- because of its global dominance in economic and military affairs. Foreign interventions serve as a testing ground for domestically constrained governments to experiment with new forms of state-produced social control over distant populations. Their analysis contributes to three strands of literature. The first includes the literature on constitutional political economy, which explores the role, design, and enforcement of rules as constraints on government and private behavior. The second strand of literature focuses on the costs and consequences of war and foreign intervention. The third strand of literature consists of theories of government growth, which fall into several different categories. Political science and public-choice scholars have developed two types of theories of government growth. Adapted from the source document.

This paper develops the political economy of the militarization of domestic policing. The authors identify the conditions and mechanisms through which the "protective state" -- where the government utilizes its monopoly on force to protect citizens' rights -- devolves into a "predatory state" which undermines the rights it is tasked with enforcing. Their analysis focuses on the US, where a long history of laws has attempted, at least in spirit, to draw a clear distinction between domestic policing and the military functions of government. They use the tools of political economy to explain how the line between domestic police forces and the military has blurred over time. In doing so they explain the erosion of rules intended to permanently separate military and policing functions. Adapted from the source document.
