http://www.newstarget.com/021197.html)
“In recent times… in other words, e-waste."
Contention two – risk
NEOLIBERAL MARKET MODELS DEMAND THAT COUNTRIES WITH THE WEAKEST REGULATION TAKE OUR WASTE IN THE NAME OF EFFICIENCY. THIS SUBJECTS THE MOST VULNERABLE TO THE MOST HAZARD WHILE PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES DENY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POLLUTION.
Alastair Iles, research fellow at Energy and Resources group and University of California, ‘4
(Global Environmental Politics - Volume 4, Number 4, pp. 76-107, Project Muse)
“Environmental justice refers to the idea… to create vulnerable populations”
THE NEOLIBERAL DIVISION OF LABOR FORCES OTHERS TO DEAL WITH THE ONGOING RISKS OF OUR WASTE SO WE CAN FANTASIZE ABOUT THE RISKS OF NUCLEAR EXCHANGE. THIS MODE OF RISK CALCULATION IS ITSELF A FORM OF EXTERMINATION.
Masahide Kato, Department of Political Science – University of Hawaii, ‘93
(Alternatives 18, p. 346-350, “Nuclear Globalism”)
“The pseudo-universalistic rhetoric… the formation of discourse.”
WORST-CASE APOCALYPTIC THREATS JUSTIFY DUMPING SYSTEMIC RISKS ON OTHERS IN ORDER TO SAVE OUR CURRENT CONSUMPTION PATTERNS.

(Annual Review of Anthropology, Vol. 28: 285-310, “BAD ENDINGS: American Apocalypsis”)

Of course, as Ulrich Beck… global uneven development.”
HENCE, THE PLAN:
The United States federal government should provide sufficient and proportionate taxes for technical and financial assistance to the topically designated area for safe management and disposal of United States’ electronic waste exports to the topically designated area.
CONTENTION THREE – SOLVENCY
THE ROLE OF THE BALLOT. OUR CURRENT CONSTRUCTION OF RISK SERVES AS AN A PRIORI FRAME FOR ALL POLITICAL CALCULATION. ACADEMIC DEBATE IS A KEY SPACE TO CHALLENGE AND ENABLE MORE EFFECTIVE FORMS OF RESISTANCE.
Roger Tooze, Former Professor – London School of Economics, ‘2K
(Strange Power, Ed. Thomas Lawton, James Rosenau, and Amy Verdun, p. 191-2)
“From this critical conception… IPE, she is right.”
THIS RESISTANCE MUST COMBINE TRANSFORMATION OF INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURES WITH A TRANSFORMATION OF RISK CALCULATIONS. WE SHOULD HARNESS ASSISTANCE TO YIELD FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES IN OUR SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ARRANGEMENTS.

William Graf, Professor of Geography at the University of South Carolina, ‘95
(http://socialistregister.com/socialistregister.com/files/SR_1995_Graf.pdf)
“It is important, finally… start from the state.”
RESHAPING THE AGENDA THIS WAY CREATES A HOT POTATO THAT POLITICIZES THE ENTIRE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ORDER.
Ulrich Beck, Professor for Sociology at the University of Munich, British Journal of Sociology Professor at the London School of Economics and Sciences, ‘92
(“Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity”, p. 76-77)
Where modernization risks… partially expressly altering them.”
