    El enfoque de los «mecanismos causales» ayuda a identificar el poder causal de los distintos factores que intervienen en una política concreta y a definir la configuración de elementos que produce un determinado resultado. Este enfoque se aplica al caso del programa URBANA (2007- 2013) de Alcalá de Guadaíra (España), que presenta un incremento significativo de la participación social en comparación con los demás municipios que participaron en el programa. A partir de su estudio, se realiza un ejercicio de construcción teórica dirigido a descubrir los mecanismos causales que han desencadenado este resultado, pensando en su posible transferibilidad. Para la selección del caso, se ha aplicado una metodología cuantitativa, mientras que para la identificación de los mecanismos causales se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad a diversos actores implicados en la iniciativa.

    A focus on ‘causal mechanisms’ aids in identifying the causal powers of the different factors that intervene in carrying out a specific policy and in defining the configuration of elements that produce a certain result. This approach was applied in the case of the URBANA programme (2007- 2013) in Alcalá de Guadaíra (Spain), where there was a significant increase in social participation in comparison to other municipalities participating in the same programme. Through studying this case, a theory aimed at discovering the causal mechanisms that triggered this result was constructed, with its possible transferability in mind. A quantitative methodology was applied to select the case, while in-depth interviews with various actors involved in the initiative were used to identify the causal mechanisms.
