Since Designing Social Inquiry (1994), by King, Keohane and Verba (KKV), was released, many researchers wrote essays regarding casual inferences in Social Sciences. One of those is Causal Case Study Methods: Foundations and Guidelines for Comparing, Matching and Tracing, by Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen (2016), self named researchers post-KKV. Causal Case Study Methods has two main goals: to analyze the set of research designs and methodologies used to make casual inferences; and to create a set of practical guidelines to use process tracing method. The book presents relevant contributions by defining casual mechanisms and providing analytical transparency tools for Social Science researches.Downloads
