Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. During the last decade there has been a growing interest in social mechanisms and mechanism-based explanations, not only in sociology and the social sciences but also in philosophy of science, particularly philosophy of biology. Although many sociologists use the word “mechanism” they often use it in an off-hand casual sense without any commitment to any type of mechanism-based explanatory strategy. The core idea behind the mechanism approach has been expressed as follows by Elster (1989: 3-4): “To explain an event is to give an account of why it happened. Usually… this takes the form of citing an earlier event as the cause of the event we want to explain…. [But] to cite the cause is not enough: the causal mechanism must also be provided, or at least suggested.”
