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.
