Bronx (All Teams) – Negative




China DA 
 
Africom put US-China relations on the brink-the plan's health 
assistance will confirm suspicions of a broad anti-China strategy. 
 
Schaefer and Eaglen (Heritage 9/27/07) 
 
"The President made clear that he sees the new command as having more 
than simply military responsibilities…" 
 
 
 
Only a slowed down pace of US aid in Africa can prevent Chinese 
lashout in other areas. Careful diplomatic management is key to 
prevent an angry response. 
 
Gill, Huang and Morrison 06. 
(http://www.csis.org/media/csis/pubs/chinainafrica.pdf) 
 
"Up to now the United States and China have each been largely absorbed 
in their separate…" 
 
 
 
China will respond by rattling swords with dollar purchases, crushing 
the economy. 
 
Telegraph 07.  (http://www.telegrap.co.uk/money/main/jhtml?xml+/money/2007/08/07/bcnchina107a.xml) 
 
            "Two officials at leading Communist Party bodies have 
given interviews…" 
 
 
 
Economic Collapse causes extinction 
 
Bearden 00.  (The Unnecessary Energy Crisis: How can we solve it) 
 
"Prior to the final economic collapse, the stress on nations…"

These are the cites for the links that we read in that round.

2. Scope Link—

John T Bennett, economist and president of the Korea Economic Institute of America, 10/1 /07

(http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=3070041&C=america)

U.S. officials have been... and the United States."

3. We're on the brink

Wenran Jiang, Director of the China Institute at the University of Alberta, '7

(http://jamestown.org/news_details.php?news_id=221# , 2/23)

Regarding the prospects...power projection capabilities.

4. bad diplomacy link—

Daniel Gordon, BBC World Service's Analysis Programme, 10/3/07

Africa analyst Brett...Africa," he says.

 

Death Cult 

A. The 1AC’s introduction of death impacts into debate is bad.  

1. Trivialization. Death debating causes an aesthetic fascination with the spectacle of death. This turns debate into a death cult and denies the choice to avoid death impacts.

Jean Baudrillard, Dartmouth BM Hack, ‘93

(Symbolic Exchange and Death trans Iain Grant, p. 185-7) 
 

Pursued and censured everywhere, death…. an end to political economy. 

      2. Body Counts. Death debating reduces peoples’ lives to mere numbers for debaters to consume in their game.

Jean Baudrillard, Dartmouth BM Hack, ‘93

(Symbolic Exchange and Death trans Iain Grant, 162-3, 173-5, “manpower” is left deliberately in)

2. More importantly, that everyone should….. consumption in social input and output? 


 

B. Vote neg because the aff introduced death impacts into the debate.

Austin Kutscher, President of the Foundation of Thanatology and Professor – Columbia University, ‘80

(Death & Existence, p. Foreward) 

Within the educational setting …. collectively and individually.

C. This is a gateway argument about how we should be allowed to debate. 

If they win that we can use death impacts, then the rest of the 1NC applies.  

We will not make cross-applications from other flows to prove the link.

Ethics Kritik


A. The aff’s discourse of ethics imposes a universal reading of what it means to be human.

Mark Franke, Prof. International Studies – U. of North British Columbia, 2K

(European Journal of International Relations 6.3: 307-333) 

Campbell and the others…… remains insufficiently tested.

B. Grounding politics within an ethical framework creates totalitarianism. Ethics shapes humanity into a pre-determined moral imperative, expunging difference and plurality.

Dean Richard Villa, Political Theory – UC Santa Barbara, ‘96

(Arendt and Heidegger: The Fate of the Political, p. 246-7) 

Arendt  appropriates Heidegger’s…………. that is not a political community at all



C. Ethical discourse reproduces the causes of violence and dehumanizes people by turning them into abstract victims.

David Chandler, Policy Research Institute - Leeds Metropolitan University, ‘1

(Human Rights Quarterly 23, “The Road to Military Humanitarianism”)

The search for victims has dominated media coverage of humanitarian crises…………. only passive victims and evil or dangerous abusers.



D. Vote negative to reject the 1AC’s prior framing of the debate through ethics.

Mark Franke, Prof. International Studies – U. of North British Columbia, 2K

(European Journal of International Relations 6.3: 307-333) 

With the exhaustion of such methods, it then appears that the fundamental challenge……… the inescapable need to respond and relate.


Soft Power K – 1NC


A. Launching Pad

1. The aff uses health for soft power. This securitizes health and destroys effective care.

Alan Ingram, Professor of Geography – University College London, ‘5

(Geopolitics 10, “The New Geopolitics of Disease”) 

A number of think-tank reports have linked health issues directly with US national interests,……………………. based on moral criteria rather than scientific evidence.69

2. Securitizing health leads to permanent war.

Melinda Cooper, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of East Anglia, UK, ‘6

(Theory, Culture & Society, “Pre-empting Emergence: The Biological Turn in the War on Terror”) 

For a while, venture capital continued to invest in the life sciences,………….. according to Dick Cheney (quoted in Woodward, 2001).



B. World Order Mindset

Leadership discourse is saturated with securitized assumptions that guarantee failure. 

You should vote negative to reject the aff’s prior commitment to securitization.

Christopher Layne, Senior Fellow – CATO, and Ben Schwarz, RAND, ’93 (Foreign Policy 92, Autumn) 

Whether an empire of free trade……. sustaining its preeminence undermine its economic strength and thereby its geostrategic capabilities. …………. is to avoid the path of folly in the Balkans and beyond.
