Description
Process Tracing From Metaphor to Analytic Tool by Andrew Bennett and Jeffrey T. Checkel provides a comprehensive approach to understanding causal mechanisms in political science. The authors establish a philosophical basis for process tracing, exploring its applications across various subfields and theories. The book offers practical guidance on best practices for individual process-tracing accounts, addressing key challenges such as equifinality and the timing of analysis. By providing a nuanced framework for explanation via reference to causal mechanisms, this applied methods book aims to bridge the gap between broad assertions and precise claims about process tracing. This title is suitable for scholars and researchers in political science seeking to develop and assess theories about causal mechanisms.
