The role that causality can play in social network analysis is unclear. The author provides a broad characterization of social network analysis before considering the nature of causality. He distinguishes four types of causality: system causality, statistical causality, mechanism causality, and algorithmic causality. Their potential places in network analysis are discussed.Understanding generative mechanisms-be they system, mechanism or algorithmic-seems the most promising way to proceed. The role of statistical causality is a source of potential data analytic tools that can be mobilized within analysis conducted in the spirit of the other three types of causality.
