1acTournament: Valley | Round: 1 | Opponent: lol | Judge: lol Plan: The United States federal government should substantially normalize its economic relations toward Cuba. Transition Cuban Economic collapse coming now—reforms are failing Most recent evidence proves – Venezuela aid and reforms will fail Lack of foreign investment makes economic and societal collapse inevitable—normalizing relations is key The plan fosters reform and stability And, no risk of turns – the embargo reinforces an authoritarian model that guarantees any instability escalates – only the plan can solve Specifically, Unconditional removal key to foster a stable transition Failure of Cuban Economic Reform Causes Civil War Cuban collapse makes conflicts in hotspots around the globe more likely, specifically cross strait war US support for Taiwan is critical to preventing war Taiwan crisis is the most likely scenario for nuclear war Multilateralism The Embargo undermines US credibility – anti-Americanism spills over globally US leadership is unsustainable without a highly visible commitment to multilateralism The plan is a powerful symbol of that commitment The alternative to multilateralism is unilateral militarism – the plan establishes a model for hemispheric diplomacy that sustains US leadership Specifically, the plan creates a credible model for multilateral conflict resolution – reverses decline of credibility and spills over globally to prevent multiple scenarios for extinction – independently solves middle east war Absent multilateral cooperation, Middle East instability goes nuclear Institutional credibility is only way to effectively exercise hegemony to prevent extinction Hegemony causes bandwagoning and checks nuclear conflict Decline of American power is not inevitable — smart policies can maintain relative U.S. power Only unconditional lifting solves Finally, no prior questions - empirical validity is sufficient -- Emphasis on metaphysical hurdles destroys any chance of describing the world and guiding action – our aff is a disad to any alt | 9/28/13 |
1ac dowlingTournament: Dowling | Round: 1 | Opponent: lol | Judge: lol Multilateralism Embargo destroys global US credibility and causes militarism– only a new model for hemispheric diplomacy solves Two impact scenarios – first is conflict resolution Lifting the embargo creates a credible model for multilateral conflict resolution that spills over globally– includes Middle East and Kashmir Absent new multilateral cooperation, Middle East instability goes nuclear Independently, Kashmir is on the brink and goes nuclear – only new US international multilateral credibility solves This conflict is unique – new border tensions and troop shift from Afghanistan to Kashmir Indo-Pak war causes extinction – best computer models Second is hegemony Decline of economic and military power is inevitable – a signal of conforming to international norms is critical to prevent devastating backlash and self-encirclement Pitfalls accompany …of their power. But the end of overall US primacy is not inevitable – smart policies maintain relative US power Global trends and empirics prove the plan’s institutional credibility is the only way to effectively exercise hegemony and prevent world war III The impact is global great power wars – empirics prove Cuba’s key to re-establish US Institutional credibility – the embargo is the only thing that international actors unanimously oppose Only unconditional lifting sends an effective signal Plan Thus the plan: Transition Cuban collapse coming now—three reasons Specifically, Venezuela aid shutoff and centralizing reforms will devastate the economy Plan solves a collapse – a few internal links First, Lack of US trade makes economic and social collapse inevitable—normalizing relations makes reforms successful and creates a democratic transition Second is foreign investment – countries are increasingly wary of doing business with Cuba – that destroys their economy Independently, normalizing relations is the only way to solve crisis de-escalation Specifically, Unconditional removal key to foster a stable transition Failure of Cuban Economic Reform Causes Civil War – current balance of power guarantees it Cuban collapse devastates regional stability and causes Taiwan conflict US focus on Taiwan is critical to preventing war Taiwan is the most likely scenario for nuclear war Caribbean instability causes bioterror and LNG terrorism Bioweapons cause extinction Even if the disease doesn’t cause extinction, lethality advances results in retaliation and global nuclear war Independently, LNG terrorism causes extinction | 12/14/13 |
