The Routledge Handbook of Causality and Causal Methods adopts a pluralistic, interdisciplinary approach to causality. It formulates distinct questions and problems of causality as they arise across scientific and policy fields. Exploring, in a comparative way, how these questions and problems are addressed in different areas, the Handbook fosters dialogue and exchange. It emphasizes the role of the researchers and the normative considerations that arise in the development of methodological and empirical approaches. The Handbook includes authors from all over the world and with many different disciplinary backgrounds, and its 51 chapters appear in print here for the first time.

The chapters are organized into the following seven parts:

I. Causal Pluralism, from Theory to Practice
II. Causal Theory and the Role of Researchers
III. Features of Causal Systems
IV. Causal methods, Experimentation and Observation
V. Measurement and Data
VI. Causality, Knowledge, and Action
VII. Causal Theory across Disciplinary Borders

Essential reading for scholars interested in an interdisciplinary approach to causality and causal methods, the volume is also a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates as well as for graduate students interested in delving into the rich field of causality.
