      This article is an illustrative read about how global soft power is financed through support for overseas academic institutions

      And domestic academic institutions too (I almost wrote domestic overseas institutions, lol). States have been reducing funding for universities so those universities replace that money by raising tuition and then chasing after out of state/international students because they can charge three or four times more, at least in my alma mater's case. We give up soft power by pricing our own students out of college too. It feels really short-sighted the way some of these schools/businesses/etc are operating.
