Abstract
Ambiguity and uncertainty are inherent in many historical alliances, decisions, and perceptions of International Relations (IR). Random factors, unreliable qualitative data, and inaccurate measurement do not cause all this qualitative fuzziness. Existing methods of statistical analysis and classical mathematical structures are ill equipped.
Keywords: fuzzy sets, international relations, foreign policy decisionmaking, mathematical social science
