Causation vs. constitution: loosening the friction

This conference brought together scholars working on the conceptual and methodological interplay between causal and constitutional dependencies, with the aim of making progress in resolving the apparent tension between these two modes of explanation, discovery, and modeling. See link to abstracts, below the schedule, to have a look what took place.
