Hello,

i will investigate the frames used by large interest groups on climate change. My goal is to register the framing used by Copa Cogeca (a large European agriultural interest group) and American Farm Bureau (more or less the same at the level of United States). Besides that, I am also interested in the way that their frames might influence the final climate policy of the EU and US. I am aware that there is also a lot of lobbying going on. I will conduct a literature study on this issue, in order to keep in mind when making conclusions at the end of my thesis.

My first question is: Which method of analysis is prefered for this kind of specific framing? I am a student so my time and resources are restricted. 

My second question is: How can I operate these frames in order to investigate their impact on agenda setting? Which theory and methodology should I apply?
