Alpharetta 1ACTournament: Alpharetta | Round: 1 | Opponent: Wheeler CK | Judge: Maggie Berthiaume 1 Low exports are crushing growth and causing prolific debt Debt causes geopolitical tensions and economic collapse – now is key to avert crisis Economic decline causes nuclear war Alternatives to growth kill hundreds of millions and cause global conflict – we can’t “turn off” the economy US-Mexico integration turns North America into a manufacturing destination and export platform for global economic expansion – solves export-oriented debt 2 Status quo bilateral agreements decimate multilateral trade effectiveness – US engagement is key to solve Mexico is key – bilateral engagement spills over to broader Latin American participation This is vital to substantially expanding overall trade flows Latin American trade with the trans-pacific is key to change protectionist tendencies and solve global free trade US-Mexican trade is high and inevitable but the plan is key to export oriented growth Empirics prove that multilateral trade creates peace—we control the proximate cause of conflict Strong trade is a prerequisite to solve all problems—collapse causes war 3 North American competitiveness low now – increased US-Mexico integration is vital to prevent other countries from crowding out US trade US-Mexico cooperation key to the US manufacturing base China is crowding out the US manufacturing base in Mexico – expanding integration key to solve The US manufacturing industry is declining now but can be revitalized A sustainable manufacturing base in the U.S. is critical to innovation and technology Decline leads to power transitions. Innovation differential is key Decline triggers positional competition and war. Bargaining will become impossible Extinction Plan The United States federal government should substantially increase its economic engagement toward Mexico through multilateral trade negotiations. Solvency US lead role is key Further cooperation with Mexico in multilateral trade negotiations solves integration and North American competition | 10/31/13 |
Lexington 1ACTournament: Lexington | Round: 2 | Opponent: Bishop Guertin TS | Judge: Isaac Marshall North American competitiveness low now – increased US-Mexico integration is vital to prevent other countries from crowding out US trade US-Mexico cooperation key to the US manufacturing base China is crowding out the US manufacturing base in Mexico – expanding integration key to solve The US manufacturing industry is declining now but can be revitalized A sustainable manufacturing base in the U.S. is critical to innovation and technology Decline leads to power transitions. Innovation differential is key Decline triggers positional competition and war. Bargaining will become impossible Extinction Scenario 2 is trade violations Chinese trade violations will cause the US to turn to protectionism Expansion of Chinese trade risks American job loss Trade tensions with China are escalating – failure to act now causes a trade war and collapses relations Reshoring production to Mexico stabilizes the US economy and solves employment – it’s a cheaper alternative to China Relations solve inevitable US-China conflict and arms race Extinction Plan Mexico is key – bilateral engagement spills over to broader Latin American participation This is vital to substantially expanding overall trade flows Latin American trade with the trans-pacific is key to change protectionist tendencies and solve global free trade Empirics prove that multilateral trade creates peace—we control the proximate cause of conflict Strong trade is a prerequisite to solve all problems—collapse causes war Impact Framing Economic predictions are valid and true – models and events based on predictive rationality There are no prior questions to problem oriented IR- empirical validity is a sufficient justification for action. Emphasis on metaphysical hurdles destroys any chance of effectively describing the world and guiding action | 1/29/14 |
UGA 1ACTournament: UGA | Round: 1 | Opponent: Johns Creek JD | Judge: Will Caplan Status quo agricultural corrections will collapse the Mexican economy – US biofuel investment solves Mexico will collapse absent change in biofuel policy Mexican collapse saps critical diplomatic capital That leads to Asian wars These wars escalate 2 Agriculture Mexican production transitions the US and Mexico away from corn ethanol This leads to sustainable farming – solves food-for-fuel tradeoffs The impact is global food shocks A diversity of studies confirm corn biofuels are a key internal link to global food shocks Biofuel-induced shocks kill a billion people Food shocks escalate to all-out war Plan The Export Import Bank of the United States should substantially increase financing for non-corn biofuels in Mexico. 3 Tech Primacy Congress has requested an increase in green financing, but the export-import bank has fallen short – increased financing is key to CLIMATE LEADERSHIP Independently – increased green Ex-Im financing is key to cleantech primacy Green leadership solves counterbalancing – specifically from Russia and China Russia-China counterbalancing leads to great power conflict AND an innovation differential is key to prevent power transitions Decline triggers positional competition and war. Bargaining will become impossible Extinction 4 Energy Credibility The plan strengthens federal commitment to biofuels--results in broader energy trade liberalization Credibility low now due to energy restrictions These decimate trade credibility This collapses global trade Free trade creates structural disincentives for inter- and intra- state war | 3/1/14 |
