Summary of Discussion--Workshop on Compensation Agreements in U.S.-USSR Economic Relations

摘要

On 7-9 December 1977 working groups from SRI International and the Institute for the World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Soviet Academy of Sciences took part in a workshop addressing the development of US-USSR economic relations via compensation agreements. The research exchange was part of a program of parallel research between the two institutes under the auspices of the Binational Commission on Collaboration and Cooperation in the Humanities and Social Sciences of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The workshop had been preceded by an exchange of draft reports by the institutes on problems and prospects for economic relations on a compensatory basis between the US and the Soviet Union. The working groups included scholars from other research institutes in the US and USSR and participation was invited by government observers from both countries. (Author)
