Pathways of Power: Building an Anthropology of the Modern World (review)

membership and non-membership (the points beyond which more or less membership ceases to be signiacant for the outcome). By forcing the researcher to operationalize the concept of membership in a population and to adjust the concepts to the data, fuzzy sets further theory construction as well as empirical analysis and ensure a closer at between the two. Once constructed, fuzzy sets can be subject to a series of logical operations leading to the simplest possible sentence concerning the causal conagurations associated with a particular outcome. As this brief review indicates, Fuzzy-Set Social Science is explicitly written for social scientists interested in producing parsimonious, logically tight, general sentences concerning types of social phenomena. As Ragin explains, it offers a language that is partly verbal-conceptual and partly mathematical-analytic. This vocabulary may not appeal to most historians, but it does serve to render explicit the range of assumptions contained in speciacally situational forms of explanation.3 As such, it should be of interest to anyone concerned with problems of historical explanation.
