Neoliberalism KTournament: Milton | Round: 2 | Opponent: Wheeler | Judge: Movements against neoliberalism are growing and strong in Latin America and spill over globally—-but the plans insistence on US led economic cooperation and integration reifies neoliberalism’s hegemonic grasp—-destroys indigenous culture, ethics require we don’t ask what we can do for the US but ask what’s best for people living in Latin AmericaHarris 8 (Richard L Harris: Professor of Global Studies at California State University, Monterey Bay; Managing Editor of the Journal of Developing Societies (SAGE India); and Coordi nating Editor of Latin American Perspectives (SAGE USA).

Politics - TPATournament: Milton | Round: Quarters | Opponent: Johns Creek XT | Judge: Andrew Lockwood Obama is spending his political capital on TPA – it will pass but it will be a tough fightPoliti, 2/10/14 (James, Financial Times, "Trade: Pacts of strife" But that vision is colliding with a sobering domestic reality. Passing big trade bills though Congress has always been difficult, relying on a coalition of a majority of pro-business Republicans and a strong minority of Democrats willing to buck their base. The first part of that equation is shakier than usual, with Tea Party and conservative Republicans shying away from giving Mr Obama any victory. Securing the second part remains a big challenge. A persistent Obama focus is vital to overcoming oppositionMcLarty, 2/2/14 - Thomas F. "Mack" McLarty was chief of staff to President Bill Clinton during the NAFTA ratification fight. Nelson W. Cunningham was also a Clinton White House aide ("A Critical Test of Leadership" Huffington Post, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thomas-f-mclarty/a-critical-test-of-leader_b_4705623.html In his State of the Union address last week, President Obama took a good first step in asking Congress to provide the tools he needs to close two of the most ambitious trade deals in U.S. history. But he faces an immediate challenge from within his party that could imperil negotiations, with huge stakes for the U.S. globally and for our economy at home.

Security KTournament: Milton | Round: Quarters | Opponent: Johns Creek XT | Judge: Andrew Lockwood This analysis thus calls for a broader approach to environmental security based on retrieving the manner in which political actors construct discourses of ’scarcity’ in response to ecological, energy and economic crises (critical security studies) in the context of the historically-specific socio-political and geopolitical relations of domination by which their power is constituted, and which are often implicated in the acceleration of these very crises (historical sociology and historical materialism).
Our response is to interrogate the epistemological failures of the 1ac – debate is an academic forum and your job is to ensure valuable understanding – having a coherent intellectual position is more important than specific political battles The central political task of the intellectuals is to aid in the construction of a | 3/18/14 |
