Mechanisms represent causal processes that produce an effect (Hedström and Ylikoski, 2010). By exploring mechanisms of movement outcomes, we can develop an understanding of how social movements influence policy. While the use of particular mechanisms can be the result of strategic choices by campaigners (see Chapter 6), we are not interested in the influence a choice had on the campaign but which mechanisms the campaign used and how effective those mechanisms were in obtaining a policy outcome. This can help us understand the paths to social movements’ outcomes and the processes that facilitate policy change.
