Promoting EU health assistance is vital to effective EU foreign poliy – this is key to global environmental rotection, terror and disease prevention
Owen 6(“Health and Conflict Prevention,”, ed: Andrew Melbourn, www.madariaga.org/download2.asp?file=Anna%20lindh%202006.pdf)
there is a need for integrated thinking….modern foreign policy”
The plan will collapse EU foreign policy – anti Americanism and foregn assistance are the glue that holds the EU together nd the plan destroys the EU as an effective global model
Melvin 5(“The United States of Europe”, lexis)
Europe, with its emphasis…foreign policy" he said.
The EU model of governance is vital to forming transnational linkages between states – this deemphasizes the need for military force as a solution to conflict
Rifkin 4 (The Utne Reader, “The European Dream”, itssd.org)
while the American spirit languishes…welfare of the planet
Enhancing transnationalism will transform global political divisions and prevents global nuke war
Seita 97 (30 Cornell Int’l L. J. 429, lexis)
Because globalization promotes common values across nations….perhaps eliminate completely the risk of nuclear war
EU SoPo is vital to Balkan Stability
Bildt 2005 (Carl, Financial Times, 6/1, Europe must keep its soft power”, www.cer.org.uk)
Yet, in recent years, Europe has prided…power of the EU has caused
Balkan instability spreads tgroughout Europe – impact is WWIII
Paris 2 (Political Science Quarterly, “Kosovo and the metaphor war”, Vol 117, Issue 3, Fall, Proquest)

They wont use WMD
No risk of lashout
6. Soft Power
Hegemonic temptation –
A. MAKES MILITARY AGGRESSION INEVITABLE
LAYNE 6 (THE PEACE OF ILLUSIONS: American Grand Strategy from 1940 to the Present , pp. 152-3)
There is another road to US oversxtension…more than they can chew
B. Policymakers will exaggerate threats to justify hegemony
Layne 6 (Same as above, p 185-6)
Proponents of offshore balancing…too many times in the past
C. This creates self-fulfilling prophecies and perpetual wars, causing extinction
Valunzuela 6 (“Perpetual War, Perpetual Terror”, informationclearinghouse.info)
Today the Us is responsible for 40%...we fear most, a terrorist state.
Multipolarity is inevitable
Lyne 6 (Same as above, page 149)
Although balance-of-power theorists…multipolar between now and 2020
Hegemony fuels terrorism
Layne 6 (page 189-90)
the events of 9/11 are another example….a lightning rod for muslim anger
Extinction – Alexander 3
Us hegemony on balance generates greate instability than retreat
Kolko 6 (The Age of War: The United States confronts the world, page 173-8, Gabriel)
the obsession with power and the conviction that armies…only produced endless misery and upheavals of every kind
Hegemony is unsustainable – multiple economic costs
Layne 6 (“Impotent Power? Re-examining the nature of America’s hegemonic Power”, the national interest, ebsco)
