[en] Most current work in the field of international cooperation focuses on the resolution of the 'prisoners dilemma.' Such work begins by assuming that the issues under consideration are defined by absolute gains, where both sides can gain simultaneously. But the realist strand of international relations literature holds that this assumption is suspect - that international relations are usually characterized by relative gains, where gain for one side comes only at the others expense. The model developed here uses the question of absolute versus relative gains not as a theoretical assumption, but as a variable to be measured empirically. The hypothesis is that whether or not the US and the Soviet Union cooperate to limit arms competition is largely determined by whether the two sides define the issue in question as one of absolute or relative gains. The 'perception of gain' hypothesis is compared to explanations at the levels of the international system (rational choice), domestic politics, and individual belief systems. Three case studies are used to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each hypothesis. The findings confirmed that perception of gain is an important independent variable affecting arms control outcomes, but none of the theories were completely supported or rejected

[en] The U.S.-Euratom Cooperation Agreement concluded in 1958 about the peaceful uses of nuclear energy constitutes the basis of scientific, industrial and commerical relations in the nuclear field between the industries and institutions of the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) and the United States. The Agreement expires on December 31, 1995. In the absence of a follow-on agreement, deliveries of nuclear goods from the United States and from sources under U.S. control into Euratom countries will be terminated abruptly. Since January 1992, representatives of U.S. Government agencies and of the EU Commission have been negotiating a new agreement. These negotiations have now reached a dead end. The tentative outline of a solution should have become apparent by early January 1995 at the latest, if the agreement was to have been concluded in time. (orig.)

[en] By virtue of its statutory functions, the International Atomic Energy Agency may be the depositary and also the supplier of nuclear materials made available to it by Member States, and these may then be stored in facilities it has acquired or which it has established under its control. However, this possibility did not materialize, mainly because the supplying states -few in number- do not want an international organization to become directly involved in bilateral transactions in that field. This paper analyses in particular the provisions of supply agreements concluded with the United Kingdom, the USA and the USSR. The Annex contains a Table of Agreements on supply of nuclear fuel and equipment concluded between supplying and consumer states through the IAEA. (NEA)
