Fuzzy expert maps: The new approach

The paper presents a new approach to fuzzy knowledge management and provides fuzzy expert maps (FEM) as a tool. FEM is a systematic extension for a well-known paradigm of fuzzy cognitive maps combined with open fuzzy control systems. Transparent examples from international politics are presented to illustrate the entire extension chain. Recommendations for further research are given as well.
