Framing Territorial Demands Dataset

The Framing Territorial Demands (FraTerr) dataset provides new data on the territorial demands and framing strategies of regionalist actors for the period 1990-2018. The dataset includes 39 regionalist parties and coalitions, 14 civil society organisations and coalitions and 8 coalitions of parties and civil society actors in twelve regions across eight European countries: Scotland and Wales (UK); Catalonia and Galicia (Spain); Corsica (France); Bavaria (Germany); Aosta Valley, Northern Italy and Sardinia (Italy); Friesland (Netherlands); Kashubia (Poland); and the Hungarian minority/the Szeklerland (Romania). Detailed information on the political documents selected and coded are provided in the coding manual, which also details the original coding scheme on which the FraTerr dataset is based; this is available on request. The dataset was compiled on the basis of a qualitative content analysis of the selected documents with computer assisted manual coding, using the software MAXQDA. The dataset consists of two distict databases: - The FraTerr_segments dataset contains a total of 32,393 coded quasi-sentences from 581 documents of 61 regionalist actors across Europe. - The Fra-Terr_documents dataset aggregates the data from the FraTerr_segments dataset to the level of documents. It provides, therefore, the number of quasi-sentences coded in each document with the coding variables derived from the FraTerr coding scheme (see coding manual). For each dataset, a codebook is provided, as well as the dataset in Excel, Stata and R.
