Appendix B - Debate coding examples

Summary

This appendix gives sample quotations for each of the forty-four different arguments for aid that were coded. Arguments are listed under the general frame to which they were allocated. Note that certain arguments were allocated to several frames, as described in Chapter 3. However, each argument is listed only once here. For each quotation, I list the legislator, his or her country, and the date and location in the parliamentary record.

In fact, Haugland wanted to include development aid as part of the defence budget, ‘as a demonstration of our interest in peace and of our way of practising international politics’ (ibid.). Interestingly, in this second quotation, the reputation frame takes the upper hand.
