The Teacher UnderstandingProcessTracing

Understanding Process TracingDavid Collier,University of California, BerkeleyABSTRACTP rocess tracing is a fundamental tool of qualitative analysis. This method isoften invoked by scholars who carry out within-case analysis based on qualitative data, yetfrequently it is neither adequately understood nor rigorously applied. This deficit moti-vates this article, which offers a new framework for carrying out process refor-mulation integrates discussions of process tracing and causal-process observations, givesgreater attention to description as a key contribution, and emphasizes the causal sequencein which process-tracing observations can be situated. In the current period of major inno-vation inquantitativetools for causal inference , this reformulation is part of a wider, par-allel effort to achieve greater systematization ofqualitativemethods. A key point here isthat these methods can add inferential leverage that is often lacking in quantitative anal-ysis.
