Asia Pivot DATournament: Disclosure | Round: 1 | Opponent: Disclosure | Judge: Disclosure Asia is focus of foreign policy pivot now but doubts are growing about the US commitment to rebalancingLobe 13 Plan trades off—a credible pivot requires downgrading other geopolitical concernsManyin 12 Commitment to Asian security key to shore up perceptions of declining credibilityKapila 6/19 Credibility key to heg—prevents emboldened adversaries and scared alliesTunc 8 Decline causes great power wars—American retrenchment collapse current restraintsZhang and Shi 11 – *Yuhan Zhang is a researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Currently on leave from Graduate School in Economic and Political Development, Lin Shi, MA from Columbia in International Affairs, also serves as an independent consultant for the Eurasia Group and a consultant for the World Bank | 10/29/13 |
Burke KTournament: Disclosure | Round: 1 | Opponent: Disclosure | Judge: Disclosure The 1AC’s enframing of strategic and technical reason reifies an ontology and epistemology of violence—their technological worldview reduces all beings to standing-reserve and guarantees extinctionBurke 7—Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations in the University of New South Wales (Anthony, Theory 26 Event, Volume 10, Issue 2, 2007, "Ontologies of War: Violence, Existence and Reason," Project MUSE) The judge should take on the role of the intellectual – vote negative to exchange the ontology of being for one of becoming—this free relationship to technology entails a questioning that can break free from technological thought and re-imagine the world from outside the political spaceBurke 7—Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations in the University of New South Wales (Anthony, Theory 26 Event, Volume 10, Issue 2, 2007, "Ontologies of War: Violence, Existence and Reason," Project MUSE) | 10/29/13 |
Civil Disobedience KTournament: Disclosure | Round: 1 | Opponent: Disclosure | Judge: Disclosure Dr. James Gilligan defines structural violence as "the increased rates of death and disability suffered by those who occupy the bottom rungs of society, as contrasted with the relatively lower death rates experienced by those who are above them." For example, people in poverty don’t have equal access to jobs, education, health care, or transportation infrastructure.And to put this into perspective, we offer a narrative about people who don’t have access to transportation infrastructure from Bensinger in 2011.Bensinger 11 ~Ken, LA Times, "A hard road for the poor in need of cars." November 3~ The global problems imagined by the affirmative actually result in fewer deaths than problems caused by structural violence. The plan only reinforces the system by spending money on imagined threats and ensuring the existence of structural violence in the United States and all around the world. That kills American national defense and reproduces the very impacts they wish to solve.Zenko and Cohen 12 Micah Zenko, Fellow for Conflict Prevention Expertise, Conflict prevention; U.S. national security policy; military planning and operations; nuclear weapons policy, Council of foreign affairs, AND Michael A. Cohen was a Senior Research Fellow at the New America Foundation and ran the Privatization of Foreign Policy Initiative, which examined the growing influence and impact of non-state actors in U.S. foreign policy. He is also the author of Live From the Campaign Trail: The Greatest Presidential Campaign Speeches of the 20th Century and How They Shaped Modern America (Walker Books: 2008). Prior to joining New America, Mr. Cohen served in the U.S. Department of State as chief speechwriter for U.S. Representative to the United Nations Bill Richardson and Undersecretary of State Stuart Eizenstat. He has worked at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Foreign Policy magazine, and as chief speechwriter for Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT). Mr. Cohen serves on the board of the National Security Network and has taught at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. Mr. Cohen holds a bachelor’s degree in international relations from American University and a master’s degree from Columbia University, March/April 2012, "Clear and Present Safety" , http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/137279/micah-zenko-and-michael-a-cohen/clear-and-present-safety, The political system as constructed ignores the voices of oppressed people in order to pay service to their financial taskmasters. The affirmative’s method for approaching political change feeds into the same existing social structures that prevent the excluded from escaping the rigid cycle of the violent norms of the status quo.Abu-Jamal 08 (Mumia, Changeless Change: The Law of Politics. Transcribed from radio essay available online http://www.prisonradio.org/mumia.htm ~col. writ. 4/5/08~ (c)) Structural violence is a form of ongoing and growing genocide that kills more people each year than all the wars combined. In fact, genocide from structural violence even outweighs a hypothetical nuclear war.Gilligan 96 ~James, Professor of Psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School, Director of the Center for the Study of Violence, and a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the National Campaign Against Youth Violence, "Violence: Our Deadly Epidemic and its Causes", p. 191-196~ Structural violence is invisible only because of the distant mindset of the affirmative. Their ethic of "this is just the way things are" only reifies the status quo.Opotow 01 ~Susan. Associate Editor of Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology and Past President of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues. "Chapter 8: Social Injustice"~ While we were preparing for this topic we went back to Sidney and Gauri in freshman year. At that point we just wanted to win for our college apps. But after a school year and a summer of debating, we came to a stop and asked another question, "do we really want to run a typical aff for the sake of winning and ’learning’? Or do we want to try something new, something unconventional that will interest people and change the debate community for the better?" We decided to advocate for societal change. We’ll defend that our discourse and advocacy will take us a step closer to eliminating structural violence by starting from the ground-up. We’ll isolate 6 internal links:First is narratives: including narratives like the one above create a more inclusive community where the effects of structural violence will be reduced – this debate is keyRimstead 01 ~B.A. AT YORK UNIVERSITY, M.A. AT U. DE MONTRÉAL, PH.D. AT U. DE MONTRÉAL, ROXANNE, REMNANTS OF NATION ON POVERTY NARRATIVES BY WOMEN, PG. 1-6~ Second is breaking away from indifference: the failure to incorporate the lives of those who are oppressed can only lead to more oppressive politics. Our personalized brand of politics acts as a counter hegemonic means of confronting oppressionFriere ’70 ~Paulo, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Chapter 1, educator and director of the Department of Cultural Extension of Recife University~ Third is higher academia: centralizing our academic insights about structural violence is key—only we can present a new vision of politicsOrnelas 2012 (Raul, Professor and activist, this essay was peer reviewed in The South Atlantic Quarterly Winter "Counterhegemonies and Emancipations: Notes for a Debate") Fourth is debate’s unique qualities: debate is a place for the voice of the oppressed – this is the key arena for our movementWarner and Bruschke 3 (Ede, University of Loiusville, John, CSU Fullerton, "GONE ON DEBATING:" COMPETITIVE ACADEMIC DEBATE AS A TOOL OF EMPOWERMENT FOR URBAN AMERICA)JFS Fifth is discourse: this debate round is unique in raising awareness of the operation of structural violence – our discussion of structural violence is key to open up pluralistic thinking that will help socially excluded groupsOpotow 01 ~Susan. Associate Editor of Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology and Past President of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues. "Chapter 8: Social Injustice"~ Sixth is our thought process: our dichotomous thought process is the root cause of structural violence – challenging it is the only way to solveLarsson 04 ~Par, Assistant Professor at Stockholm University, Ph.D. "Schizophrenia and Psychology"~ The alternative is to reject the 1AC and affirm critical education about structural violence through acts of civil disobedience against the status quo. We see this as a necessary refusal to participate in meaningless forms of change that keep us trapped in the status quo. The 1NC is only a start to breaking out of the constraints of the status quo, but the ballot is important to affirming our advocacy as a form of protest against and education of structural violence that can prolong this discussion.Zinn 71 ~Howard Zinn at a peace rally on Boston Common on May 5, 1971~ And, It will trigger critical engagement with society and create politics for social change – this debate is a key starting point.Giroux 12 ~Henry, Global TV Network Chair Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department, "Beyond the Politics of the Big Lie: The Education Deficit and the New Authoritarianism" June 6, 2012 http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9865-beyond-the-politics-of-the-big-lie-the-education-deficit-and-the-new-authoritarianism-http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9865-beyond-the-politics-of-the-big-lie-the-education-deficit-and-the-new-authoritarianism~~ Help for one another goes beyond any material condition in the world. Voting negative understands our advocacy as not only a call of material responsibility but also that of spiritual responsibility. Voting negative signifies an understanding of the importance of non-material conditions. | 10/29/13 |
OFAC CPTournament: Disclosure | Round: 1 | Opponent: Disclosure | Judge: Disclosure Using its licensing authority and enforcement discretion, the United States Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control should exempt transactions involving ~the good(s)/service(s) affected by the plan~ from enforcement under the Cuban Assets Control Regulations.First, the counterplan solves via specific exemptions — OFAC has broad discretion over sanctions enforcement.Golumbic and Ruff 13 — Court E. Golumbic, Managing Director and Global Anti Second, the counterplan solves quickly and without political fallout — it doesn’t require legislative or regulatory action.Golumbic and Ruff 13 — Court E. Golumbic, Managing Director and Global Anti | 10/29/13 |
Schizophrenic Subalternity KTournament: Disclosure | Round: 1 | Opponent: Disclosure | Judge: Disclosure It is only the attempt to know the other from the self that creates a dualism – the aff’s method of dragging the Other into their circle of normalcy will only open up possibilities of more oppression, turns case. | 10/29/13 |
