	Debate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Debate is an aspect of argument which is distinct from logical argument, in that it encompasses aspects of human persuasion which attempts to appeal to the emotional responses of the audience
		Policy Debate is a style of debating where two teams of two debaters advocate or oppose a plan derived from a resolution that usually calls for a change in policy by a government.
		Policy Debate is mostly practiced in the United States (where it is often referred to as Cross-Examination, or CX debate), although it has been attempted in Europe and Japan and has certainly influenced other forms of debate.

	[No title]
		Policy debate resolutions are usually very broad in that they do not specify particular actions for the agent (remember, this is usually the Federal government or the United States).
		Since policy debate resolutions are ordinarily worded in a very broad fashion, it is now generally held acceptable for the affirmative to isolate a specific example of the resolution in order to narrow discussion.
		Debate is designed as a series of speeches alternating between affirmative and negative (with the exception of the 2NC and the INR, which are two negative speeches in a row-- this is called the negative block).

	South-Western: Monetary policy rules
		The primary focus of macroeconomic policy during this period was on avoiding a recurrence of a severe recession.

	- Prometheus: Is the “Hockey Stick” Debate Relevant to Policy? Archives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		We have written frequently about the core dynamic of the climate debate in which political opponents pick a scientific sandbox to fight in, with little connection to policy, and fight things out in a public manner under a pretense that the debate has significance beyond science.
		The policy is anti-development and redistribution of resources from the wealthier to the poorer nations.
		Because no one openly addressed these policy or political issues at the time of the release of the IPCC's TAR, we are now saddled with an (apparently) unending debate over the HS, which lots of folks surely enjoy as great sport, but which contributes little to actual policy development.

		While I have extensive notes from the Spectrum Policy conference at Stanford, Cory Doctorow has done such a great job blogging through the day that it doesn't seem worthwhile to take the time to clean up and post my notes, especially since anyone passionately interested can watch the whole day on video.
		The debate seemed a lot easier to understand when Benkler framed it as private property rights in spectrum vs. private property rights in devices, as he did in discussion in the morning.
		My conclusion, as a technologist and entrepreneur, after listening to lawyers and economists debate all day, is that it is an empirical question as to which of the two regimes would be the most efficient, property in devices or property in spectrum.

		A striking feature of the first presidential debate was the one-dimensional quality of the world that the candidates discussed.

		So from a standpoint of future foreign policy, and not merely domestic political success, it is worth looking at what Bush and John Kerry said about Iraq in their first debate last night.

	South-Western: Does dollarization benefit developing economies?
		Even if the U.S. Fed can be trusted to engage in "appropriate" policy responses, many countries are still reluctant to cede their control over domestic macroeconomic policy to a foreign agency.
		During the next few years, the dollarization debate is likely to be a major policy issue in the U.S. and in countries experiencing currency instability.
		Calvo argues that Latin American economies are already substantially affected by monetary policy and economic conditions in the U.S. He suggests that some emerging market economies would benefit from dollarization since it provides for a more predictable and credible monetary policy.

		It's especially striking given the overall economic context of significantly increasing political inequality, and especially impressive in the context of significantly increasing inequality over the past 20 or 30 years, given that the rich have become richer so much faster than the rest of the population.
		It's striking that people are willing to support public policies that produce additional upward redistribution in an era when most of the other developed countries in the world are doing the best they can to mitigate the exogenous economic developments that have produced increasing economic inequality around the globe.
		The Tax Policy Center, a joint venture of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, will convene a briefing with two experts—University of Michigan economist Joel Slemrod and Princeton University political scientist Larry Bartels—who will present their recent findings on the issues.

	CNN - Advocates square off in U.S. encryption policy debate - May 24, 1999
		WASHINGTON (IDG) -- The battle over U.S. encryption policy raged here again last week at a conference where outspoken privacy protection advocates were pitted against a U.S. Department of Justice lawyer who defended current restrictions on the export of strong encryption as an absolutely essential component of law enforcement.
		If the FBI and other U.S. law enforcement agencies lose the ability to break into the computer systems of criminal suspects, they will have to operate without one of their most effective tools, said Philip R. Reitinger, senior counsel of the computer crime and intellectual property section in the Justice Department.
		The policy is hampering the development of strong encryption products by U.S. companies and hindering e-commerce, according to people who want the policy changed.
