Causal process tracing is a methodology that seeks observable implications in causal processes based on assumptions. It does this through case studies oriented towards this search. Its goal is to establish whether a succession of events or processes in the case fit with what has been explained by theory before, which allows showing the consequences of what can be seen as the cause of the mechanisms (M) by analyzing the parts (n) that conform them. In this regard, “diagnostic” pieces are integrated from the case study and made up of the available evidence that allows the assumptions considered in the research design to be supported or not. In this article, we aim to explain the method of tracing causal processes and causal mechanisms. This will allow us to show whether its use is proper for developing political science in our region.
