Cuba Embargo 1ACTournament: Meadows | Round: 4 | Opponent: St Marks AS | Judge: Christian Bato Advantage 1 is OFAC Indeed, amid an array of political transitions and military conflicts around the globe, Action now is key- attempts to prolif now Only OFAC solves- close multilateral efforts Absent a shift to multilateralism, US leadership will collapse and cause global nuclear war U.S. lead Latin American multilateralism is vital to solve hemispheric problems – their influence disads are wrong and selective engagement fails Multiple scenarios – Scenario 1 is Conflict Management Riparian disputes magnify conflict – their defense doesn’t assume future scarcity levels, only we solve Independently, border disputes coming now despite current effort The OAS is key to resolve – it solves hemispheric confidence-building – disputes are inevitable in the squo Scenario 2 is resource competition Absent those protectionism and escalatory resource wars are inevitable Continuing calls for curbs on the flow of finance and trade will inspire the United Resource wars cause extinction – best case studies prove 3 Internal Links – Embargo removal is key Second, it delegitimizes the OAS Third, removal is a necessary first step to effective conflict resolution models Now is key – ideological shifts at home and potential development in Cuba | 10/26/13 |
NAFTA 1ACTournament: Meadows | Round: 2 | Opponent: Notre Dame AB | Judge: Claire McKinney FemicideWhen the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed, it created an unprecedented transnational economic space across North America that eliminated substantial trade barriers between the three signatory nations. To date, about 3,100 maquiladoras have been built in north Mexican border towns, employing more than one million assembly-line workers, roughly one fourth of whom are living in Ciudad Juárez. But the question remains, where does responsibility lie? What are the conditions by which women are murdered everyday with impunity? Arriola 07 Claudia Ivette-González might still be alive if her employers had not turned her We begin our analysis here, on the border. Women in maquiladoras become living worthlessness and abjection. It is this state of dependency and submission that makes them so valuable. The disposability of the female body is captured in a paradigm of value versus waste. Such activities do not reveal human uniqueness—instead, labor is defined by interchangeability Globalization and Free Trade creates structures of systemic violence against women, a war waged with unsafe working conditions, insufficient healthcare, and a lack of respect for worker’s health. The under-privileging of these everyday forms of discrimination in the public create the cultural conditions for ongoing femicide outside of the factory. Arriola 2006 Pro-globalization advocates measure success only from the standpoint of markets.202 They We should connect gender to the economic rights of trade agreements as a way of politicizing the gendered roots of exploitation. A labor movement in transnational female workplaces is critical to furthering workers’ ability participate in the political culture that determines their lives. This is critical to spurring debates within the American labor movement, international cross-border organizing, working directly with women in maquiladoras and providing the basis for larger progressive coalitions. Andrias 03 The time since NAFTA's signing has made clear that globalization is not a passing phase The discourse surrounding the maquila workers refigures our narrative of all marginalized women. It is crucial to make connections between the women of Juarez and labor conditions worldwide. ¶ In 1999, when I first published the essay that constitutes this chapter, PlanThe United States federal government will clarify that the NAFTA agreement itself obligates binding worker protections in Mexico, including mechanisms for improving basic labor standards based on the recommendations of the International Labor Organization (ILO). Solvency Garcia 9 Kimberly A Nolan, Political Science = The University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico, Transnational advocacy and labor rights conditionality in the international trading order, Chapter One: Transnational Advocacy Networks and Trade-Based Labor Rights Conditionality According to this argument, if labor rights standards are used as a comparative advantage The ILO should choose enforcement measures – their standards and expertise are universally recognized. The ILO strengthens crucial union formations. Alternatives for the Americas 98 second draft of a document initially prepared for the April 1998 Peoples' Summit of the Americas-a historic gathering of activists determined to change the prevailing approach to trade and investment policy in the Western Hemisphere. Building a People's Hemispheric Agreement, http://www.iatp.org/files/Alternatives_for_the_Americas_Building_a_Peopl.htm Naturally, such a workers' rights provision would be effective only to the extent that The aff is more than just a legal solution – it is also a merge of legal work to the already active forms of transformative organizing. The framing of our aff is critical to radicalizing new notions of economic rights – creating a shared normative formula for a socially aware global economy. Upholding internationally recognized workers' rights is necessary to set a less ambiguous floor for labor standards which inspires both organized labor and NGOs to get involved. Jacobs 10 While some would argue that imposition of "international" labor standards amounts to an Incorporating civil society input about NAFTA’s labor failures is a critical corrective. Public debate and documentation of NAFTA’s impact is critical to move past the logic of markets and to force the government to live up to its promises, rolling back the current model of NAFTA The mainstream press is wrong when it says the United States can't "unilaterally" Silence about the gendered dimension of economic engagement is an intended tactic and cloaking device that serves to conceal the work of masculine violence. Why is globalization as a gendered phenomenon not well recognized? Among many reasons, Framing the world through gendered dualisms orients all policies towards economic growth, effeminizing all alternative discourses as irrational or impossible. This precipitates war, poverty, oppression, and environmental degradation-- making extinction inevitable.
