  • Tradeoff DA - Climate Assistance

    • Tournament: Liberty | Round: 5 | Opponent: Pitt LM | Judge: Paul Mabrey

    • Climate assistance will avoid cuts now but it’s an easy target- new cuts would devastate USAID and US leadership

      Worthington ‘8-11 ((Samuel Worthington, InterAction CEO and president, 8-1-11 , InterAction is the largest alliance of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations, "US must learn from Britain and not cut foreign aid," The Guardian, www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2011/aug/01/us-foreign-aid-cuts)

       

      Democracy assistance is zero-sum with climate assistance

      Sharma ’11 (Republican Majority Taking Stance on Cutting Foreign Aide FEBRUARY 3, 2011 BY MUKUL LEAVE A COMMENT Mukul Sharma is a recent graduate of the University of Maryland in College Park. He majored in Environmental Politics and Policy and now works for DC based firm SEGURA Consulting, contributing to projects both in and outside their environmental practice.

    • INCREASING DEMOCRACY ASSISTANCE WORKS PART-IN-PARCEL WITH US MILITARISM TO FURTHER OBSCURE THE DESTRUCTIVE MECHANICS OF ORIENTALISM

      Crowe 7 (Lori, Candidate in Political Science at York University, “The “Fuzzy Dream”: Discourse, Historical myths, and Militarized (in)Security - Interrogating dangerous myths of Afghanistan and the ‘West,’” http://turin.sgir.eu/uploads/Crowe-loricrowe.pdf, AD: 5/18/11) jl

       

      THE 1AC IS DEEPLY INVESTED IN THE COLONIAL NARRATIVE OF US INTERVENTION BRINGING PEACE BUT THREATENING TO BACKSLIDE AT THE FIRST SIGN OF US DISENGAGEMENT – THIS SANITIZES COLONIAL VIOLENCE WHILE UNDERMINING REAL LIBERATION FOR PEOPLE ON THE GROUND

      Ahmed 7 (Faiz, Ph.D. student, University of California, Berkeley; J.D., University of California Hastings College of the Law, Gonzaga Journal of International Law, 10 Gonz. J. Int'l L. 269) jl

       

       

      The Muslim Brotherhood is a farce of political change – they are an extension of the old regime, propped up by the US – submissively willing to accept the imperial and neoliberal order of the US

       

      Amin 11

      Amin, Third World Forum Director in Dakar, 7-13-11 [Samir, author of The Liberal Virus (Monthly Review Press, 2004), The World We Wish to See (Monthly Review Press, 2008), and most recently The Law of Worldwide Value (Monthly Review Press, 2010).

      this guarantees global destruction – this strategic worldview can only conceive others as targets for American bombs, making it the logic of perpetual nuclear war.

      The alternative is a criticism of the way the 1AC assembles what seem like facts and snippets of empirical reality to create a holistic view OF THE MIDDLE EAST requiring Western intervention – Your ballot must foreground an investigation into the method and epistemology used to assemble the 1AC BEFORE POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS

      Crowe 7 (Lori, Candidate in Political Science at York University, “The “Fuzzy Dream”: Discourse, Historical myths, and Militarized (in)Security - Interrogating dangerous myths of Afghanistan and the ‘West,’” http://turin.sgir.eu/uploads/Crowe-loricrowe.pdf, AD: 5/18/11) jl

      -- Extinction outweighs all - ethics demands you evaluate our impacts first.

      They can’t solve the discourse of danger—attacking a particular manifestation of it just causes it to shift to a new focal point

      Tuathail, 96  (Gearoid, Department of Georgraphy at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Political Geography, 15(6-7), science direct)

      Second, the narrative that works this ground is an identity politics narrative that seeks  to problematize the ‘metaphysics of presence’ found in US foreign policy.

       

      Promotion of security is an ethical responsibility of government. Total security is impossible but limited security avoids a hell on earth.

      Elshtain ‘3  (Jean Bethke, Prof. Social and Pol. Ethics – U. Chicago, “Just War Against Terror: The Burden of American Power in a Violent World”, p. 46-48)

      Kavka ’87  (Gregory S., Prof – UC Irvine, Moral Paradoxes of Nuclear Deterrence, p. 86-87)

       

      The US is toxic – any group that accepts assistance becomes discredited.

      No impact – market rationality precludes the genocidal mentality that Santos analyzes.

      Ratner – 84 (Leonard, prof., of law at USC, Hofstra Law Journal, Spring, p. 753-54)

       

      Can’t solve neoliberalism – the right will co-opt the plan’s invigoration of public spaces to prevent a genuine societal transformation
