A. Transformational diplomacy is at the top of the agenda

 * Fore, 07** administer of USAID (Henrietta, Federal News Service, 6/12, “EFFICACY OF THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE REFORM”, lexis)

Since assuming these roles four weeks///unified approach.

==B. Cuts in existing health assistance are vital to the effectiveness of transformational diplomacy – increased spending will trade off with the efficiency of current programs and disrupt existing prioritization==
 * Tobias** 3/28/**07** US Director of Foreign Assistance and Administrator of USAID [Randall L. http://www.usaid.gov/press/speeches/2007/ty070328.html]

OTHER THREATS This hardly exhausts…prosperity can be both. 

Asia Media News Daily – 5/1/07 (web)
Susan L. Shirk goes a long way to overcoming…there could be serious implications.

Hills – 7 (Carla, former trade negotiator on the Council on Foreign Relations, “U.S.-China Relations: An Affirmative Agenda, A Responsible Course”, April, web)
At the same time…growth and security.

McLeary – 7 (Paul, staff writer for the Columbia Journalism Review, “A Different Kind of Great Game”, March, web)
In such a fight…the United States is promising.

Shirk – 7 (Susan, former deputy assistant secretary for China at the U.S. State Department, “China: Fragile Superower”, p. 66)
Today's leaders have learned from history that…for overthrowing them.

Li – 5 (Cheng, William R. Kenan prof. of government and chair of the Asian Studies Program at Hamilton College, Summer, Orbis, p. 387-400)
Because bipartisanship is…checks and balances.

Dittmer – 4 (Lowell, prof. of polisci at Berkeley, //The China Quarterly//)

Dittmer – 90 (Lowell, //The China Quarterly//, No. 123, p. 405-430)

The Epoch Times – 5 (8/3, web)
Since the Party’s life is “above all else,”…gamble with their lives.

Europe Counterplan
Yea……….. 

Consult Japan

 * Text: Prior to the adoption of the plan, the United States federal government should initiate a process of binding genuine consultation with Japan and should propose as its mandates. During consultation, the United States federal government should advocate the adoption of the plan, but should allow Japan to either accept or veto the plan. The United States federal government should implement the proposal as per the results of consultation.**


 * Observation One – Competition**


 * First, the counterplan competes through net benefits and the nature of FIAT because the counterplan can be vetoed while FIAT guarantees that the plan can’t – this means any permutation is severance out of the nature of FIAT making the affirmative a moving target which is a voting issue for fairness.**


 * Observation Two – The Alliance**

The time has come to strike a new strategic bargain between Japan…a crisis occurs.
 * The alliance will inevitably collapse in the status quo.**
 * Mochizkui – 97** (Mike, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, “Relations With the Great Powers”, March 22, http://www.brookings.edu/press/review/spring97/garthoff.htm)


 * Prior and genuine consultation is key to strengthen and restructure the alliance.**
 * Mochizkui – 97** (Mike, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, “Relations With the Great Powers”, March 22, http://www.brookings.edu/press/review/spring97/garthoff.htm)

As the U.S.-Japan alliance becomes more reciprocal…west European allies. In the context of East Asia, how closely Japan is in step with the United States…Japan stand together. Few if any  experts…the Commerce Department.
 * The security alliance is key to East Asian stability.**
 * Mochizuki – 96** (Michael, senior fellow in foreign policy studies at Brookings, //Japan Quarterly//, p. 21)
 * Asian instability triggers nuclear war.**

Glaxo has begun dumping its useless and highly toxic AIDS drug AZT  (Retrovir®)   in Africa….other options.

Widespread use of drugs that postpone…increase in the death rate.

Coercion K
==** The affirmative’s use of tax dollars for public programs represents another instance of the government legislating morality and social engineering regardless of the moral or utilitarian consequences **==


 * Machan**, Tibor R., **2004**, Professor Emeritus Department of Philosophy @ Auburn University, Research Fellow at Hoover Institution Stanford University, __Putting Humans First__ pg.

Thinkers of all stripes tend to understand the problem with unlimited usage of land…means of a common treasury?

==The affirmative plan treats people as a means to an end – individual freedoms no longer exist when the government forces individuals to be responsible for so called “public goals.” The government’s only purpose should be in ensuring individual rights are never abridged==


 * Machan**, Tibor R., **1995**, Professor Emeritus Department of Philosophy @ Auburn University, Research Fellow at Hoover Institution Stanford University, __Private Rights, Public Illusions__

If the proper political goal is the equal progress of all individuals…attain some worthy goal.

Disregard of human dignity removes all worth to life. It reduces people to passive subjects creating a negative life, one that could have been but was not.

 * Raz**, Joseph, Phd Philosophy, THE MORALITY OF FREEDOM, **1991**, p. 359.

One way to test the thesis of the primacy of action reasons is…not being alive can be better than that life. 



Biopower K
This reading gives great weight to the argument of Discipline and Punish…the “Age of Man”. According to Foucault…benefit and pensions.
 * Power is fluid and omnipresent – it is implicit with every human interaction. The affirmative’s top-down approach to politics allows for biopolitics to spread and forecloses the possibility of resistance.**
 * Fraser – 85** (Nancy, prof. of polisci, //Ethics//, Vol. 96, Issue 1, p. 174, JSTOR)
 * The concept of public health changes the focus from the individual to the population – this focus is what allows for biopolitics to spread.**
 * Duffield – 5** (Marle, prof. of politics and IR at Lancaster U, “Human Security”)


 * Enhancing the protection of well being of populations becomes an instrument through which the life of populations can be controlled by the sovereign.**
 * Constable – 91** (Marianne, JD, PhD in Jurisprudence and Social Policy and prof. at Berkeley, “Foucault & Walzer: Sovereignty, Strategy & the State”, //Polity// vol. 23, No. 2, winter, p. 281-2, JSTOR)

As the focus of political concern shifted to the population…and spreading government.

For a long time,  one of the characteristic privileges of sovereign power…phenomena of population. It seems to me that what must now be taken into account…the importance of Nietzsche.
 * Biopolitics necessitates endless cycles of violence and slaughter in the name of preserving the health of the body politic – this makes genocide and extinction inevitable.**
 * Foucault – 78** (Michel, philosopher and chair at the College de France, “The History of Sexuality”, p. 135-37)
 * Our alternative is to __vote negative.__ The specific intellectual has an obligation to struggle for the detachment of truth and knowledge from power. Isolating each point of resistance of every power relations is the only method by which “truth” can be found.**
 * Foucault – 80** (Michel, “Power/Knowledge: selected interviews and other writings 1972-1977”, //Truth and Power//)
