Description
Process-Tracing Methods: Foundations and Guidelines by Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen. This extensively revised edition introduces a refined definition of process-tracing, differentiating it into four distinct variants and explaining their applications and limitations. The authors provide instructions for identifying the most suitable variant for each research question and guidelines for each stage of the research process. The book develops the underlying logic of process-tracing, including how to understand causal mechanisms and apply Bayesian logic for strong within-case inferences. This comprehensive guide is ideal for researchers seeking to study causal mechanisms linking causes with outcomes.
