    • T- IMET is not DA

      Interp-Democracy assistance is grant-aided transfer of support to pro-democracy initiatives.
      Burnell ‘7 Prof. of Politics @ University of Warwick, England Peter, “Does International Democracy Promotion Work?” Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik, ISBN 978-3-88985-354-7) http://www.die-gdi.de/CMS Homepage/openwebcms3.nsf/%28ynDK_ contentByKey%29/ADMR-7BRF46/$FILE/BurnellPromotionWork.pdf

      All things considered, however...parties, and so on. 

      Violation-Expanded-IMET is security assistance, not democracy assistance. 

      Pike ‘11 Director of GlobalSecurity.org, defense information website John, “Security Assistance Training Field Activity.” http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/satfa.htm

      The term "security assistance...as Peacekeeping Operations

      T- only Positive conditionality
      A. Interpretation: Democracy assistance only includes positive conditionality.

      Carlos Santiso, Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C. March 2002. “THE REFORM OF EU DEVELOPMENT POLICY IMPROVING STRATEGIES FOR CONFLICT PREVENTION, DEMOCRACY PROMOTION & GOVERNANCE CONDITIONALITY,” CEPS,  HYPERLINK "http://aei.pitt.edu/1826/1/WD182.PDF" http://aei.pitt.edu/1826/1/WD182.PDF 

      Another type of indirect democracy...allocations and country performance.

      T- Governance is not DA
      Promoting democratic governance is distinct from democracy assistance
      Mitchell ‘8 Columbia University School of International and Political Affairs International Politics professor, and Phillips, National Committee on American Foreign Policy Project Director [Lincoln A. and David L., Columbia University Center for the Study of Human Rights visiting scholar, Jan 08, “Enhancing  Democracy Assistance” http://www.acus.org/files/publication_pdfs/65/Enhancing%20Democracy%20Assistance.pdf, p.10-11]

      Promote Democratic Governance While...participation, contestation, and accountability.

      T- DA is direct Assistance
      Interp- Democracy assistance should be considered all aid for which the primary purpose is to foster democracy- indirect aid explodes the topic.
      Lappin ’10 -Faculty of PoliticalSciencesat the University of Belgrade- What we talk about when wetalk about democracy assistance2010 - Volume 4, Issue 1 http://www.cejiss.org/sites/default/files/8.pdf

      Problems Resulting From Definitional Uncertainty...and social aid programmes .’

      T-Democracy
      Interp- Democracy is a regime that fills government offices based on contested elections.
      Przeworski ‘96 - (Adam Przeworski is professor of political science at New York University.  Michael Alvarez is assistant professor of political science at De Paul University.  José Antonio Cheibub is assistant professor of politics at the University of Pennsylvania.  Fernando Limongi is assistant professor of political science at the University of São Paulo, What Makes Democracies Endure?, Journal of Democracy 7.1 (1996) 39-55)
      We define democracy ... minimalist definition.

      T-Aid Withdrawal is not DA
      Interp- Aid withdrawal is not democracy assistance
      Boulding & Hyde ‘5 (Carew –UC-SD & Susan-Yale, http://research.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/0/8/6/9/1/p86916_index.html?phpsessid=9d054b016ad65aaef96aa69fb28b15e4)

      We argue that ...be exercised lightly.

  • Gift K

    • Tournament: | Round: | Opponent: | Judge:



    • The Aff is not sincere; all of its claims of democracy assistance camouflage its political objectives
      Allen ’11 (Democracy assistance and the Arab Spring: solidarity vs. sovereignty? Michael Allen, is an NED Visiting Fellow, worked as director of external affairs for the Global Alliance for Workers and Communities, a partnership comprising the World Bank, corporations, and the International Youth Foundation. Prior to that, he taught employment law, human-resource management, and labor relations for five years at the Cranfield School of Management in Britain.  Editor, Democracy Digest http://www.demdigest.net/blog/2011/07/democracy-assistance-and-the-arab-spring-solidarity-vs-sovereignty/

      Polemics over the role...former regime elements enjoy.

      The gift reduces the “recipients” to pure victims, a new category of bare life that can be exterminated at will
      Korf ‘7 BenediktKorf, Geography at the University of Liverpool, 2007[Geoforum38 (2007) 366–378]

      I would argue that these practices...to recipients (and nothing beyond).

      The alternative is unconditional giving
      Mubirumusoke ’11(Georges Bataille and the Ruinous Role of Non-knowledge in Derrida's Unconditional Hospitality Mukasa Mubirumusoke Boston College “The Promise and Limits of the Impossible” Volume 2, Issue 1 Spring 2011 Pg. 2-4
