    • OREINTALISM

      The threat of regional instability is not self-evident but seeped in a racist description of the world – this ideological approach genocide and unending war.

      [Pinar, PhD @ UT-Austin – Prof. of Scociology @ Vassar, The Heart of Violence: Global Racism, War, and Genocide,” in Handbook of the The Soiology of Racial and Ethnic Relations, eds. Vera and Feagin, p. 441-443]

       

      War and genocide are horrid, and taking them for granted is inhuman. In the 21st century, our problem is not only seeing them as natural and inevitable, but even worse: not seeing, not noticing, but ignoring them. Such

      ” are Iraq and New Orleans.

       

      The alternative is to reject the affirmative in favor of a revolutionary pedagogy

      Not democracy assistance

       

      A. democracy assistance is assistance where the primary purpose is to assist democracy not the secondary purpose

      Lappin 10. Richard Lappin, Ph.D. candidate, Centre for Peace Research and Strategic Studies, University of Leuven (Belgium); has participated in over a dozen democracy assistane missions for the UN, EU, OSCE, and Carter Center and has recently completed assignments in Sierra Leone, Lebanon, and Romania, Currentlym visiting Scholar at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Belgrade,                      2010 Central European Journal of International and Security Studies, Vol 4, Issue 1  What We Talk ABout When We Talk ABout Democracy Assistance: The Problem of Definition in Post-Conflict Approaches to Democratisation,

      Furthermore, as democracy has …post-conflict democracy assistance can be drawn.

      ­­­________ does not directly act directly on democratization. Democracy is not the primary purpose of the pla,   The best indication of this is that it would be equally useful in an authoritarian state.  At best, it promotes democracy only by effects, and that unlimits.                 

       

      Burnell 2K   Peter Burnell, prof of politics, Univ of Warwick UK   2000

      Democracy Assistance: international cooperation for democratization, Peter Burnell ed   p 11-12

      In the largest … the literature provides conflicting answers to questions such as these.

       

      c. increase means to make greater in size

       

      d.  The aff interpretation is bad for debate

       

      1.  Limits – limits are necessary for negative preparation and clash.   They’re unlimiting because they make assistance to anyone civil society.  Only be restricting the aff to agents of democracy can the negative ever hope to be prepared.

       

      2. Ground – they kill core negative ground on democracy

       

      e. This is a voter because T is necessary for debate (for clash etc to be possible)

       

       

      Precision demands that you hold the line and carefully distinguish between governance and “democracy assistance” --- their arguments WRONGLY LABEL the plan as topical --- causing conceptual confusion- this turns their SUBSTANCE standard

      Limits outweigh – they’re the vital access point for any theory impact --- it’s key to fairness --- huge research burdens mean we can’t prepare to compete – and its key to education --- big topics cause hyper-generics, lack of clash, and shallow debate --- and it destroys participation
