Whereas regression analysis is concerned more with the 'effects of a cause', the diversity-oriented fuzzy set method allows for asking under which assumptions a given causal factor might be necessary for the outcome. This paper also identifies four conditions that are usually necessary for the timeliness of legally, administratively and politically motivated national transposition processes
