A fit between theory and method is essential in theory–guided empirical research. Achieving
such a fit in process tracing is less straightforward than it may seem at first glance. There are
two different types of processes that one can theorise and, consequently, two varieties of
process tracing. The two varieties are introduced by empirical examples and distinguished
with respect to four characteristics. Failure to determine the form of process tracing at hand
may lead to invalid causal inferences.

Abstract
A fit between theory and method is essential in theory – guided empirical research. Achieving such a fit in process tracing is less straightforward than it may seem at first glance. There are two different types of processes that one can theorise and, consequently, two varieties of process tracing. The two varieties are introduced by empirical examples and distinguished with respect to four characteristics. Failure to determine the form of process tracing at hand may lead to invalid causal inferences.
