This article by by Marie Pompignan identifies and examines in a critical fashion the key concepts which ought to be included in a general domestic law governing the peaceful uses of nuclear energy,and suggests a definition of the word “concept”.

Selon le Petit Larousse illustré, le mot concept désigne « l’idée d’un objet conçu par l’esprit, permettant d’organiser les perceptions et les connaissances ». Sans entrer dans une discussion philosophique ayant trait à la nature d’un concept, mener une réflexion dans le but d’identifier et d’examiner de manière critique les concepts clés qui devraient être intégrés dans une loi nationale générale régissant les usages pacifiques de l’énergie nucléaire, suppose de s’entendre sur le sens donné au mot concept.

This paper seeks to identify the way in which opportunities for corruption arise in the context of procurement. In looking at the government as a buyer, it considers the position of the procurement officer acting as agent on behalf of the elected government. Whilst the paper does not ignore the significant impact of corruption at the political level (either for the personal gain of politicians or for the benefit of political parties, for example), it concentrates on the opportunities this agency relationship offers to the procurement officer to deviate from his duty to act in the public interest. The paper investigates the divergence between the agent’s personal interest and that of the government and of the public and narrows down the opportunity for such deviations to the existence of informational asymmetries.
