Abstract

In this paper, we use the 3-dimensional decision criteria under uncertainty to evaluate potential allies for NATO. In this context, we focus on the recent member of NATO, Finland and Sweden. We investigate Türkiye’s behavior towards these countries based on three main factors such as political, economic and military, each with three subfactors. We generate 3D payoff matrix by evaluating the effect of these factors on Türkiye’s decision and apply 3D Laplace, 3D Wald, 3D Hurwicz and 3D Savage criteria on the 3D payoff matrix. The findings suggest that Turkey should give priority to approve Finland’s accession, in line with Türkiye’s current pattern of decision-making.
