CONTENTION 1: Environmental regulations undermine economic growth in the countries that most desperately need it.

Developing economies are largely based on resource exploitation. Barbier 2010 :

Most developing countries…3.2 billion individuals.

Environmental regulations undermine the economic wellbeing of these nations significantly.

First, government regulations are often implemented inefficiently. Guasch and Hahn 1999 :

Correcting market failures.. a heavy price tag.

Second, the process of ensuring compliance with regulations alone is a huge drag on efficiency. Evidence from the developed world proves this. Guasch and Hahn 2 :

Third, pollution controls create a significant drag on the economy. The process of ensuring compliance with regulations alone is a huge drag on efficiency. Evidence from the developed world proves this. Guasch and Hahn 3 :

Fourth, increasing the stridency of environmental regulation by only 10 can result in the average foreign firm hiring significantly fewer people. List and Co 1999 :

A. TEXT: The six member countries will implement MPAs as outlined in the AC but allow exemptions for subsistence fishing by indigenous tribes.

B. COMPETITION: The AC creates MPAs that do not allow for subsistence fishing by indigenous tribes. A permutation would alter the implementation of the plan text; don’t let them sever out of a critical plank as this would completely skew my strategy.

C. SOLVENCY

() Community displeasure at lack of their involvement and fishing rights in the reserve process led to the use of destructive fishing practices. Guenette 2000 :

The Standard is Respecting the Rule of Law. This is true for two reasons.

A. A. Government agency is exclusively constituted by legal norms. Governments have no separate consciousness that reasons and acts accordingly. Government action only consists of individuals  acting with the special authorization of particular laws. Extra-legal actions by individuals  employed by the government do not constitute government actions, for the same reason that the government is not criminally responsible when a rogue police officer commits a murder. The officer’s actions are only acts of government insofar as they are authorized by law.

B. The rule of law is necessary to protect individual liberty against arbitrary and unfair government power. Darryl Brown :

The rule of… in political struggle.

C. The rule of law is necessary for trust in government and respect for the individual. Hollander-Blumoff and Tyler 2011 :

And yet procedural… for those rights.

D. D.D. Only a system of legally institutionalized norms can underpin a functional social structure. Without it, there is no sufficiently compelling normative force to guarantee broad based compliance with pragmatic and moral rules. The motivation provided by law links abstract moral knowledge and concrete practices. Habermas1 ’96:

The move from... subject is unburdened.
