- anyone interested in how causal inquiry relates to other approaches to the study of world politics, including normative, interpretive, critical, and historical inquiry

We hope it will be of interest to
- anyone conducting causal inquiry and interested in the reasoning and assumptions which underpin it
- anyone seeking to make sense of ongoing debates, in IR and philosophy, about causation, causal inference, and causal explanation

In this book, we try to do 3 things:
1. Demonstrate what is problematic about some established ways of thinking
2. Provide a new, improved account of the 'deep logic' of causal inquiry
3. Show how causal inquiry can contribute to empirically rich but critically aware scholarship about world politics
