| Example Notes |
Because of the compound source (Russia and China), code two events for this sentence. In the first event coding, Russia is the source actor and Asian banks is the target actor. In the second event coding, China is the source actor and Asian banks is the target actor. The category in both codings is Ask for economic aid. The request for economic assistance must be explicit when coding to this event category. Should generic aid be requested, code to the more conservative category, Ask for material aid. |
