I realize most of those on this newsgroup are high school debaters and don't
care about what's going on in college, but I imagine that there may be some out
there interested in what's been put out by the (few) college camps.

Collected from the mighty e-Debate:


*WDI:

JARVIS Arizona State & MORRIS SMS: Middle East Politics

Israeli consultation CP
Israel-US relations DA
Barak Credibility DA
Israel Encirclement DA
Peace process good/bad
Peace process inevitable/dead
Answers

MASSEY (Vermont) & MARLOW (Weber State): CE & Sanctions

CE Theory
Sanctions theory
CE bad
CE good
Sanctions bad gen'l
Sanctions good gen'l
Sanctions good/bad for each topic country

MEANY (Claremont) FELLOWS LAB: Secrecy

Secrecy Critique: classification, application to foreign policy,
application to topic countries, topic countries classificatiobn systems,
media manipulation (US & global), conspiracy theory and scenario
construction, threat construction based on asymmetrical transparency,
secrecy as applied to military, proliferation, trade, other other economic,
environmental, agricultural, humanitarian issues; historical examples of
dangerous miscalculation in "secure" decision making; groupthink,
voluntary/involuntary decisionmaking.

HAYMAN (Cornell) & JACOBSON (Vermont): Multilateral Agreement on Investment DA

US unilateral economic sanctions undermine US-European cooperation to
expand economic globalization through the Multiulateral Agreement on
Investment. MAI is down but not out, window of opportunity to pass in next
year. Impacts: prolif, militarization, war, unrest, biological destruction,
cultural imperialism, economic collapse. Also it leads to NATO expansion to
the Baltic states, three cenarios: Russian change in nuclear posture, arms
sell-off to rogue states, Kalingrad internal collapse.

FRAPPIER (Gonzaga) & HOVDEN (UCO): Clinton & Helms

Clinton story: political capital internal link with China-US relations impact.
Helms DA. CTBT impact.
Library of links & internal links for all of the different Clinton stories
they can think of.

WOODS (William Jewell) & MILLER (Vermont/Arkansas State): Water & Islam

Water aff: Syria specific, Iraq-regional peace pipeline.
Islam DA: regional factionalism leads to Islamist political takeover
Critique: Western mindset misanalyzes Islam
Answers to all of this.

GEHRKE & ERCOLINI (both Penn State): Feminist Critique of CE & Realism
