This case packet challenges the assumption that economic integration is destiny, exposing how modern globalization can lock nations into rules no voter can change. Through sharp institutional analysis and cutting-edge political economy, The Sovereignty Override asks a chilling question: who governs when treaties outrank citizens? Designed for high-level Lincoln–Douglas debate, this packet arms debaters with a powerful framework centered on democratic control, legitimacy, and accountability. When economic systems escape public oversight, democracy becomes ceremonial. This case invites judges to decide whether governance remains human—or has been outsourced to the machine.
