Description

This affirmative Lincoln–Douglas case defends globalization through a rigorous institutional framework grounded in human flourishing rather than ideological or utilitarian claims. Drawing on Hayekian and Misesian insights, it evaluates globalization and protectionism by their ability to sustain voluntary cooperation, peaceful exchange, and adaptive social coordination. The case is designed for traditional UIL and NSDA judges, emphasizing philosophy, institutional legitimacy, and long-term stability over short-term outcomes. It includes a clear value–criterion structure, deep contention-level analysis, and advanced frontlines, making it easy to collapse in-round and resilient against common negative strategies.
