This award supports the participation of eight U.S. social scientists in a U.S.-Swiss seminar on cooperative models in international relations research to be held in Geneva, Switzerland in December, 1988. The seminar is jointly organized by Professor Michael Intriligator, Director of the Center for International and Strategic Affairs, UCLA, and Urs Luterbacher, Director of the Center for Empirical Research in International Relations, Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva. The seminar will bring together social scientists in various disciplines (economics, political science, international relations, game theory, etc.) with a common interest in cooperative process models, in order to survey the current state of such models in international relations research, to develop new approaches to such research, and to stimulate additional research in this area. Participants will consider the causes and consequences of international cooperation at the superpower, regional and global levels. Fundamental but potentially complementary differences in methodology between the U.S. and Swiss communities, as well as the disciplinary diversity of the participants, will enrich the meeting. Switzerland has one of the largest concentrations of researchers in this field in all of Western Europe; much of their research has involved collaboration between political scientists and economists. Swiss researchers are particularly known for the development and use of simulation models and other types of dynamic models that make use of empirical estimates, optimization techniques and rational choice concepts. American researchers have developed and used game theoretic methods, especially repeated non-zero sum game strategies in their studies of cooperation versus conflict scenarios. The joint seminar should advance the development and synthesis of models of cooperative behavior applicable to international security, politico-economic relations and other forms of interaction among nations. Its aim is not only to produce explanations of existing situations but also to generate normative conclusions as to how to conduct cooperative approaches to international issues, particularly those of international security and international crisis management.

该奖项支持八名美国社会科学家参加定于1988年12月在瑞士日内瓦举行的美国-瑞士国际关系研究合作模式研讨会。本次研讨会由美国加州大学洛杉矶分校国际与战略事务中心主任Michael Intriligator教授与日内瓦国际问题研究生院国际关系实证研究中心主任Urs Luterbacher共同主办。研讨会将汇集对合作过程模型有共同兴趣的不同学科（经济学、政治学、国际关系、博弈论等）的社会科学家，以便调查这些模型在国际关系研究中的现状，开发这种研究的新方法，并促进这一领域的进一步研究。与会者将讨论超级大国、地区和全球各级国际合作的原因和后果。美国和瑞士社区在方法论上的根本但潜在的互补差异，以及参与者的学科多样性，将丰富会议。在整个西欧，瑞士是这一领域研究人员最集中的国家之一；他们的许多研究都涉及政治学家和经济学家之间的合作。瑞士研究人员尤其以开发和使用模拟模型和其他类型的动态模型而闻名，这些模型利用了经验估计、优化技术和理性选择概念。美国研究者在合作与冲突情境的研究中发展并运用了博弈论方法，特别是重复非零和博弈策略。联合研讨会应促进发展和综合适用于国际安全、政治经济关系和国家间其他形式互动的合作行为模式。其目的不仅是对现有局势作出解释，而且是就如何对国际问题，特别是国际安全和国际危机管理问题采取合作办法得出规范的结论。
