GLOBAL DYNAMICS OF SOCIAL POLICY CAUSAL MECHA...

This open access edited volume introduces the concept of causal mechanisms to explore new ways
of explaining the global dynamics of social policy  and shows that a mechanism-based approach
provides several advantages over established approaches for studying social policy. The
introductory chapter outlines the mechanism-based approach  which stands out by modularisation
and a clear focus on actors. The mechanism-based approach then guides the twelve chapters on
social policy developments in different Asian  African  European and Latin American countries.
Based on these findings  the concluding chapter provides a structured compilation of causal
mechanisms and outlines how a mechanism-based approach can further strengthen research on the
global development of social policies  especially in a comparative perspective. The edited
volume is highly relevant for social policy scholars from a variety of disciplines  as well as
for scholars interested in strengthening explanation in the social sciences.
