Winning Debates

Winning Debates offers a practical introduction to the World Universities Debating Championships (also known as British Parliamentary or Worlds-style) format, the international standard for academic debating. The text combines a review of the basics of argument theory with an application of those theories to the four-team style of debate, and recommends strategies and tactics for successful debating. Winning Debates provides a coherent, useful vision of debating that will encourage discussion, disagreement, and experimentation from Worlds-style debaters around the globe.
