      Franz von BENDA-BECKMANN ET AL. 2009. Head of Project Group at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. The power of law in a transnational world: anthropological enquiries. P 54.

      With all that has been written about imperialism and colonialism it is … and the rule', 'two somewhat antagonistic yet functionally connected elements'.

      THE RULE OF LAW EXPORTED THROUGH DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS ACTS AS A COLONIAL TOOL TO IMPOSE THE EURO-AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM, RISKING GENOCIDE AND INSTITUTING INEQUALITY
      Franz von BENDA-BECKMANN ET AL. 2009. Head of Project Group at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. The power of law in a transnational world: anthropological enquiries. P 57.

      Patterns of law have historically been exported by colonial … closer scrutiny, mirrors our own quite distinctive legal and political institutions' (2000:64).  

      THE RULE OF LAW FINDS ITS ORIGINS IN CLASS DOMINATION AND JUSTIFIES VIOLENT STATES OF EMERGENCY. VOTING AFFIRMATIVE SUPPORTS THE FORMULATION OF A COUNTER POLITICS THAT REJECTS THE DEMAND FOR A RETURN TO THE RULE OF LAW.
      Mark NEOCLEOUS, 2008. Professor of the Critique of Political Economy at Brunel University (“Critique of Security”, McGill-Queen’s University, pp. 72-75, Published 2008)

      But there is a wider argument to be made, one with political… our attention more specifically on security as a political technology.

      POSITING THE RULE OF LAW AS THE ALTERNATIVE TO AUTHORITARIAN VIOLENCE PURIFIES VIOLENCE AND LEGITIMATES OPPRESSION
      Tugba BASARAN. 2010. Lecturer at the School of Politics and International Relations at the Brussels School of International Studies. Security, Law and Borders: At the Limits of Liberties. P 26-9

      Liberal discourses promote the belief that the rule of law … established through the rule of law that contrast to the ideals and norms of liberal rule.

      RELEGATING RIGHTS VIOLATIONS OUTSIDE THE LIBERAL STATE TO THE EXCEPTIONAL OR LAWLESS SPACES IS A POLITICAL ACT THAT DEPICTS THE RULE OF LAW AS REMEDY TO VIOLENCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
      Tugba BASARAN. 2010. Lecturer at the School of Politics and International Relations at the Brussels School of International Studies. Security, Law and Borders: At the Limits of Liberties. P 14-5

      The peculiar discursive construction of the link between liberties and security, liberal… affirmation through the discourse of exception, have become an important framework.

      THE IMPOSITION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IS A FORM OF WESTERN HEGEMONY THAT PLACES MUSLIM NATIONS IN A STATE OF INCLUSIVE EXCLUSION, SUBJECT TO NORMS BUT EXCLUDED FROM INTERNATIONAL LAW
      Mark DRUMBI, 2004. Assistant Professor and Ethan Allen Faculty Fellow, School of Law, Washington & Lee University. 42 Colum. J. Transnat'l L. 349.

      Regardless of the precise etymology of that which presently constitutes … of human rights, is there not a right to participate meaningfully in the structures that create world order? n129

      THE PROMOTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS CODIFIES HUMANITY’S LIFE AS BARE AND LEGITIMATES GLOBAL MILITARY INTERVENTION AND NECESSITATES KILLING TO SAVE

AL 2K10 [Marc and Miguel de, prof political science saint mary’s university, “human security and the securing of human life: tracing global sovereign and biopolitical rule” in “critical perspectives on human security: rethinking emancipation and power in international relations” ed. Chandler,  Hynek, 134-5]
      While many authors have recently used Agamben's work to read the 'exceptional times' … intervention is deemed necessary once all other options have failed.

      THE RENDERING OF LIFE AS BARE  MAKES IT POLITICALLY CALCULABLE AND CAUSES SOVEREIGN DECISIONS TO OPERATE WITHIN A RACIST LIFE/DEATH CONTINUUM THAT CULMINATES IN DEATH CAMPS AND WAR
      DR. DOUCET ET. AL 2K10 [Marc and Miguel de, prof political science saint mary’s university, “human security and the securing of human life: tracing global sovereign and biopolitical rule” in “critical perspectives on human security: rethinking emancipation and power in international relations” ed.

      In The History of Sexuality, Foucault describes biopower as a form of power which …of each and all is held open to being politicized at the hands of sovereign power.

      HR CONDITIONS ON DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE DEPICT NON-WESTERN NATIONS AS SAVAGE AND IN NEED OF CIVILIZING THROUGH CONFORMITY TO HUMAN RIGHTS NORMS

      Elsewhere, non-European political traditions, which lie outside the liberal tradition … states frequently use human rights as a tool of foreign policy against non-Western states.93 

       THE CIVILIZED/BARBARIAN DICHOTOMY IS MANIPULATED TO DEPICT ALL IN THE “NON-WEST” AS OTHER AND LEGITIMATE IMPERIALISM
      Mark B. SALTER. 2002. Associate professor at the School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa. “Barbarians and Civilization in International Relations” p 160-2
      Barbarians and Civilization contributes to several contemporary conversations in IR theory….how we can complicate those representations and disrupt that power. 

      THE PRESUPPOSITION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AS A UNIVERSAL CONCEPT MASKS THAT IT IS FOUNDED UPON ANTHROPOCENTRIC VIEWS.
      THAROOR 2K0 [sashi, are human rights universal, world policy journal, vol XVI, no 4, winter 99/2000]

      The growing consensus in the West that human rights …property, the right to freedom of contract, and the right to be left alone.

      THE HIERARCHIZATION OF LIFE VALUES THROUGH HUMAN RIGHTS DISCOURSE NATURALIZES WARFARE AND SLAUGHTER OF NON-HUMANS AND RACIALIZED OTHERS
      Tarik KOCHI. 2009. Lecturer in Law & Int’l Security @ University of Sussex “Species War: Law, Violence and Animals” Law, Culture and the Humanties. 5:353.
      In everyday speech, in the words of the media, politicians, protestors, soldiers and dissidents… imposed upon the rest of the world through colonization and globalization.  

      OPENING UP SPACE FOR POLITICAL EXPERIMENTATION WITHOUT LIMITS TO PREFORMULATED POLITICAL ALTERNATIVES FOSTERS RETHINKING OF LIBERALISM TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE UTILIZATION DEMOCRACY TO VALIDATE WARFARE
      Jessica WHYTE. 2009. Contesting realities. Cosmopolitan Civil Societies Journal, Vol. 1, No. 2
      Wendy Brown has suggested that while the death of communism …we must firstly challenge ourselves to think, and to act, against reality. 

      THE AFF EMBRACES A RADICAL DISAGREEMENT THAT ALLOWS FOR CRITIQUE AND REFORM AWAY FROM A DEMOCRATIC POLITICS BASED IN CONSENSUS THAT PRECLUDES POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT
      Adrian LITTLE. 2008. Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Democratic piety: complexity, conflict and violence. P 98-99

      This critique of consensus shows up the ways in …pertinent to embrace radical views of disagreement as the lifeblood of democratic politics.

    • -Plan --- THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT UTILIZE SECURITY CONDITIONS TO RESTRICT ITS DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE FOR BAHRAIN, EGYPT, LIBYA, SYRIA, TUNISIA, OR YEMEN.

      -Aid to democracy assistance providers is conditioned on security

      Paul Brumberg 2010, In pursuit of democracy and security in the greater middle east,

      Democracy assistance providers…to U.S. security strategies.

      -These conditions take the form of terrorist financing restrictions that categorically group and discursively tie muslim organizations to terrorism introducing networks of surveillance that causes them to become self-disciplining. These efforts are counterproductive and mask American imperial violence.

      Mona Atia 2007, In whose interest? Financial surveillance and the circuits of exception in the war on terror, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, vol25, pg 447-475

      The designation of individuals and organizations as terrorist…while Islamic entities are reregulated.

      -Efforts to assist democracy and transparency in the middle east rely on discursive racial otherization – this exclusion perpetuates legal and material forms of racial discrimination and profiling

      Mona Atia 2007, In whose interest? Financial surveillance and the circuits of exception in the war on terror, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, vol25, pg 447-475

      The portrayal of Islamic money in…may be construed as suspicious”

      -Financing restrictions act as a capitalist tool for dispossession that legally and discursively produces Islamic institutions as others whose money is differentiated and placed in a state of exception under a racist and exclusionary imperialist gaze

      Mona Atia 2007, In whose interest? Financial surveillance and the circuits of exception in the war on terror, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, vol25, pg 447-475

      Maintaining the ideal climate for US economic interests…reveals the living legacy of the colonial present.

      -Interweaving security and democracy aid causes civil society to be depicted as a neutral slate upon which to regulate potential terrorists. This depoliticizes civil society actors and renders them tools for state surveillance and population control

      Jude Howell 2011, The securitization of civil society post-9/11

      What however is different in…its ability to provide security and welfare

      -The association of aid with terrorism subjects middle eastern political organizations to racialized and feminized norms of exclusion and otherization. This masks the ongoing inequities of the global financial system, politicizes the value of life and money, and disperses sovereign exceptionalism to bureaucrats.

      Mona Atia 2007, In whose interest? Financial surveillance and the circuits of exception in the war on terror, Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, vol25, pg 447-475

      By rendering humanitarian aid and terrorism…money of which Islamic finance is a part.

      -This system ensures that aid becomes an avenue for militarization, inequality, and biopolitics. The humanitarian expression of biopolitics in the war on terror ensures endless warfareand radically devalues life.

      The much more recent Global War on Terror (GWOT) is just beginning…felt only though an endless suffering”

      -Voting affirmative is an act that destabilizes racial cariacatures to keep debate on the limits of civil society alive – this is essential to developing a counter-hegemonic strategy to disrupt the politics of fear sustaining the securitization of aid

      Jude Howell 2011, the securitization of civil society post-9/11

      The securitization of aid raises not only theoretical and conceptual issues…vulnerable to abuse.

      To problematize the Enlightenment is to pose questions about current conceptions of theory, politics and human subjects... relations of power to individual human subjects.

      YOUR BALLOT CAN SERVE AS AN ETHICAL ACT OF WRITING THAT CHALLENGES THE VIOLENT APPREHENSION OF ALTERITY IN DOMINANT POLITICAL RATIONALITY.

    • THE ROLE OF THE BALLOT IS TO ENDORSE A DESIRABLE INTELLECTUAL STRATEGY FOR CHALLENGING DOMINANT HISTORICAL RELATIONSHIPS OF POWER THAT CONSTRAIN AND SHAPE DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE.

      The university space is point of intersection of power-effects - Academics shape regimes of truth and intermediate strategies of racism, sexism and capitalism - problematization of modes of knowledge formation instead of prophesying action within the realm of mundane politics is the best role for intellectuals

      Roger Alan Deacon. 2003. Political Science Researcher w/a Doctorate from U of Natal – Durban. Fabricating Foucault: Rationalising the Management of Individuals. P 102-105

      To problematize the Enlightenment…power to individual human subjects

       

      An aff ballot represents a critical intervention into the regimes of truth embodied by the terrorist finance restriction. Only by this politicization of our critical interrogation into knowledge and power can we create intermediate strategies within this discursive space capable of challenging multiple interlocking networks of political oppression.
