DA outweighs the case:
1. Probability-nationalism, mistrust and political tension empirically increase in the absence of growth. Increases saber rattling and scarcity of resources which encourages miscalculation-that’s Auslin [Optional-Institutions won’t check because their credibility is tied to domestic prosperity.

Instead of falling prey to the AND the choice was a setup—like all dichotomies, false.
Framework
First, effective deliberation requires a forum of discussion that facilitates political agonism and the capacity to substantively engage the topic at hand-~--in short, a forum of switch side debate where the negative can predict and respond to the aff is the most intellectually effective-~--this is crucial to affecting productive change in all facets of life-~--the process in this instance is more important than the substance of their advocacyGutmann et al., UPenn political science and philosophy professor, 1996 (Amy, Democracy and Disagreement, pg 1-4, ldg)
OF THE CHALLENGES AND required to pursue our common ends.
Effective deliberation is crucial to the activation of personal agency and is only possible in a switch-side debate format where debaters divorce themselves from ideology to engage in political contestation-~--this activation of agency is vital to preventing mass violence and genocide and overcoming politically debilitating self-obsessionRoberts-Miller, UT Rhetoric professor, 2003 (Patricia, “Fighting Without Hatred: Hannah Arendt’s Agonistic Rhetoric”, http://www.jaconlinejournal.com/archives/vol22.3/miller-fighting.pdf, DOA: 1-31-12, ldg)
Arendt is probably most AND - that is, engage in rhetoric - then they are engaging in anti-totalitarian action.
Effective deliberative discourse is the lynchpin to solving all existential social and political problems-~--a switch-side debate format that sets appropriate limits on argument to foster a targeted discussion is most effective-~--our K turns the whole caseLundberg, UNC Chapel Hill communications professor, 2010 (Christian, Tradition of Debate in North Carolina” in Navigating Opportunity: Policy Debate in the 21st Century, pg 311-3, ldg)
The second major problem AND debate at colleges and universities.
Democratic agonism can only successfully operate in a limited forum-~--it’s not a limitation on the content of argument, but on the form in which it is presented-~--this is not an appeal to exclusion, but to maximizing the deliberative potential of debateGlober, UConn political science professor, 2010 (Robert, "Games without Frontiers?: Democratic Engagement, Agonistic Pluralism, and the Question of Exclusion", Philosophy Social Criticism published online 16 November 2011, SAGE, ldg)
Recent democratic theory AND must operate with limits and frontiers.
Agreement is a precondition for contestation.Ruth Shively, former professor of political science at Texas AandM, 2000 (Political Theory and Partisan Politics p. 181-2)
The requirements given thus AND basic agreement or harmony.
And, student engagement on this topic is especially important to break down the cultural dichotomy between Islam and democracySadiki, Exter Middle East politics senior lecturer, 2009 (Larbi, Rethinking Arab democratization: elections without democracy, pg 8-9, ldg)
Arab states and societies are AND external dynamics.

Academics can make at AND us understand a complex and changing world.[8]
This has to take place in the policy realm-~--government responses to Middle East democratization are a crucial driver of cultural attitudes towards Islam and people of the MENA region-~--now is a key time to engage the discussionBrookings 2011 (“What Does the American Public Think of the Arab Awakening?”, 5-22, http://www.brookings.edu/events/2011/0522_arab_awakening.aspx, DOA: 10-13-11, ldg)
