1NC Damus Invitational Rd 1Tournament: Damus Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: CK McClatchy BP | Judge: Christian Ogata Secretary of State Madeline K. Albright has argued that a U.S. policy of economic engagement...it is a variation of the traditional carrot and stick approach rather than one or the other. But freedom and democracy under capitalism is only for the few who can afford it because they live off the labor...imperialist brutality—it is appeasement of the violent democracy of the owners. Capitalist conquest inevitably results in extinction—every modern war has been a byproduct of the spread of the drive for expansive growth At times of savage devaluation, interregional rivalries typically degenerate into struggles over who is to bear the burden of...Keynesian economics in the treasuries of the world, but by the destruction and death of global war. Alt Text: The judge should vote negative to reject capitalist knowledge production and endorse globalization from below. Many critics have begun to wonder why hamburgers and jeans can be globalized, but the spread of themes such as...With little left to why not pursue alternative visions? IPR ADVANTAGE No econ impact Everyone ignores international law on the economy or human rights—the US is a poor model One might argue that states’ rhetoric is immaterial; what matters instead is their behavior... and security, on the one hand, and the promotion of human rights, on the other. Royal votes neg – economic reduce military competition There is, however, another trend at play... they will be least likely to enact bold and costly policies even when their nation's survival is at stake and they are needed most' (Schweller, 2006, p. 130). Trade alone doesn’t solve war Many hope trade will constrain or perhaps pacify a rising China, resurgent Russia, and proliferation-minded Iran, as it well may... There will always be someone else with the capability to buy and sell. International conflict is obsolete - the costs far outweigh any benefits The pursuit of US growth is the root cause of terrorism -- denying the majority of the world access to resources forces blowback. That causes extinction Economic collapse inevitable— But folks, that is the coded message in many recent warnings from environmental economists who finally realize that nothing will wake up the public...Gilding’s such an upbeat optimist about global challenges you’ll enjoy being drawn into his new mindset. b. Complexity I want to point out that a massive discrepancy exists between the official pronouncements emerging from Copenhagen on carbon emissions...For example, a recent study concluded that another 20 years would be required for electric vehicles to have a significant impact on US gasoline consumption. Causes extinction and outweighs war Finally, there is one major existential threat to American security (as well as prosperity) of a nonviolent nature... It is a threat not only to the security and prosperity to the United States, but potentially to the continued existence of life on this planet. COUNTERFEITING ADVANTAGE Pharmaceuticals won’t solve pandemics – economic interest prevent vaccine dissemination to the poor Pharmaceutical companies have contributed to people’s improved health and prolonged life, generally speaking. ... It took huge public outcry to get the case dropped some 2 years later.) Cuba will not become a hotspot for drugs – multiple reasons Cuban drug cooperation is unnecessary – status quo governments solve No disease can kill us all – structural limitations | 12/13/13 |
1NC Damus Invitational Rd 3Tournament: Damus Invitational | Round: 3 | Opponent: CK McClatchy BM | Judge: Gabe Olson US trade with Cuba is a neoliberal attempt to secure economic dominance over Latin America and will only produce more poverty for its people. Current Cuban economic politics is better for Cubans. There is a consensus between the financial elite, neoclassical economists and the political classes...economic dominance has been and continues to be the USA’s main economic objective. | 11/4/13 |
1NC Damus Invitational Rd 6Tournament: Damus Invitational | Round: 6 | Opponent: Leland VV | Judge: Stephen Goldberg As the world debates the future of climate change in international forums, most countries are implementing...CO2 emissions annually, finding alternative sources of energy is a crucial component of climate change mitigation strategies. WARMING DA Latin America is emerging as a leader in regional clean energy investment...annual Clean Energy Award for his advancement of clean energy technology in Latin America. Mexican oil drilling and renewable energy trade off—increased fossil fuel development distracts from real solutions By committing to costly recovery, oil companies are betting that oil prices (and gas prices) will stay high...away from fossil fuels and toward clean alternative energy and efficiency. US stance on energy spills over—has potential to solve global paradigm shift to renewable energy The good news first. Renewable energy, combined with energy efficiency, can meet half of the world's energy needs...Consumers should have the opportunity to buy products that minimise both their energy bills and their impact on the global climate. Ocean acidification causes mass extinctions SOLVENCY Unfortunately, a cooperative solution has not been easy to negotiate or reach. One of the greatest challenges...drilling in the Western Gap, which was implemented by the Western Gap Treaty on June 9, 2000. n8 US companies won’t drill—disclosure conflicts and expensive investment Concerns about a Potential Conflict Between the Transboundary Hydrocarbon Agreement and Section 1504 of Dodd-Frank...what is already an expensive decision, in turn reducing opportunities for new jobs for Americans. ISOLATIONISM ADVANTAGE THE APOCALYPSE WAS on its way, and it would begin in Mexico. Where else? When archaeologists dug up Mayan...to make sure of the protection he and his family will need when he leaves office. No risk of Taiwan war – multiple forms of deterrence check conflict Chinese military leaders believe that the United States possesses superior war- fighting capabilities in the Taiwan...because neither its pilots nor its aircraft could challenge U.S. air superiority. Drug cartels will never disappear in Mexico—narco money is too engrained in the economy and it’s beneficial because it helps weather financial crises Mexican cartels, which control most of the cocaine and methamphetamine smuggled into the United States, bring an estimated..."We have to trace the illicit origin of that money before we can get at those bank accounts." OIL DEPENDENCE ADVANTAGE The biggest losers would be the Arab oil states grouped in the Gulf Cooperation Council...Middle Kingdom’s most important foreign sources of petroleum. Iranian prolif is peaceful—religion, technological barriers, diplomacy, and deterrence The following reasons aim to strengthen the case for why Iran is not after a nuclear bomb...declined despite the thousands of nuclear weapons between them. Empirically no impact to oil shocks—market substitution checks and it’s a relatively small sector of the US economy Among those asking this tough question are two young professors...five days of gas lines in Georgia, and unusually high prices at the pump for a few weeks. TERRORISM ADVANTAGE MEXICO CITY—President Barack Obama offered his support Thursday for Mexico's shifting security strategy...said Joshua Meltzer, a global economy and development fellow at the Brookings Institution. No bioterror attack—capabilities insufficient for technology and deployment requirements It is important to remember that the risk of biological attack is very lowand that, partly because viruses...exchange information, conduct research and promote individual awareness of the threat. Alt cause—government corruption means police and officials are either bribed or murdered by cartels The contrasting forces of corruption and coercion in turn... by human rights organizations and citizen complaints. | 11/4/13 |
