R3 wrap up

Generally, debates in this round apparently were very messy. It seems that people couldn't cope with the term "analysis debate", but also with the strong economic part of the debate. Furthermore, establishing causal links was a problem in many debates.

It begs the question why the debate was not focused further, e.g.: "THB that China will have to democratize in order to reap further economic benefits in the future." Or something like this. 1P still wouldn't need to give a model, but there would be a bit more beef to chew on. But that's just IMHO.

Awaiting round 4!

Hey Jens,

how about a list of the German teams participating and how they do? That'd be very much appreciated on the other end of the Atlantic; it's just like a live ticker for me during periods of boring reading...

Thanks so much!
