1. Models, Agents, and Stakeholders
Ieva Skrīvere

2. THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT
THBT current generation of Germans should not pay taxes or any sort of reparations for past Nazi atrocities
THBT capitalism is better than socialism
The motion requires justification, proof of legitimacy
Concentrate on principles, not practicalities

3. THIS HOUSE REGRETS/ CONDEMNS
This House Regrets the EU Troika’s reliance on mainly austerity measures as a solution for at risk Eurozone economies. 
TH condemns racially provocative art
Usually about past events, so there’s nothing we can do about it
But looking back to it now, it seems like a bad idea and we wouldn’t do it again

4. THIS HOUSE SUPPORTS/ APPLAUDS
TH supports the Scottish independence
This House applauds the rise of songs by female pop artists that glorify assertive female sexuality
Again, the motion does not require us to do anything, we just believe that it is generally a good thing
Often it is about some minority group that does not necessarily want us to do anything, but wouldn’t mind having our (GOV’s) support

5. FIRST PERSON MOTIONS
You are Arnold Schwarzenegger. You are presented a script in which you are asked to portray a SS Nazi Officer who is presented in a positive humane light. THW take on the role.
TH, which is the EU, would sue individuals, political groups and media that spread untrue and misleading information about the EU.
‘General good’ is irrelevant, always think about ‘what’s in it for the individual’

6. THIS HOUSE WOULD Fun visuals THW invade Syria
THW legalize prostitution
The motion requires action (what we do?) and model (how we do it?)
Additionally, you should also consider the justification of legitimacy (why can we do it?)

7. MODEL
No model is perfect (otherwise it would be implemented in real life already)
Don’t make it too complex (the arguments are still more important)
A simple strategy: MAD (Model, Agent, Delivery)
What you do or hope to achieve invade / change regime
Who does it WLibDem / US / NATO
When do we do it when the ‘red line is crossed’

8. AGENTS There is no ultimate truth in choosing the best agent
1 country (USA)
practical advantages (fast response, consensus in decision making)
BUT principal disadvantages (lower legitimacy, US hate)
a group of countries (WLibDem)
more legitimacy
BUT allies tend to think similarly
international organizations (UN)
maximum legitimacy
BUT very inefficient (veto power)

9. RED SEA OPEN wasn’t just about open bar and pool parties

10. STAKEHOLDERS

11. STAKEHOLDERS
Who are they? How will they be affected? How will they react?
THBT university education should be free students, academic staff, universities, parents, businesses (labour market), government, neighbouring countries
religious people (extreme, passive)
minorities (ethnic, religious,)
classes of income (rich, middle, lower)
women, feminists
LGBTQIA (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, and asexual)
businesses (large corportaions, SMEs)
workers, labour unions
dependent on the state (unemployed, retired, poor)
children, parents
other countries citizens, government
international organizations (EU, NATO, UN, WTO)

12. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS What is the problem? Can we do it?
Should we do it?
Does it work?
Is it justified?
Is this the right actor?
What are the sacrifices?
What rights are we stealing?
Why now?
Why change status quo?
Read ALL the words in the motion (the CAs put them for a reason)
Who is exempt and who is affected? (Stakeholders)
How do we change their incentives/ behaviour/outcomes?
Compare this plan with other options
Can we narrow it / broaden it?
Are there any negative externalities?
WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?
