However, as practice testifies, a generality of problems happens enough for mutual understanding achievement, but frequently does not suffice to start practical actions. A basis for them can become only the generality of quite concrete economic interests which it is better than any political declaration push the parties to cooperation.

In case of conversion the general understanding of a problem was showed accurately enough. At the same time at once it was not clear enough, in what the generality of interests consists. For the majority of the western countries a conversion problem - especially internal, and only indirectly connected with state machinery. According to the western politicians, in conversion military contractors if they consider expedient reorientation of the manufacture to the peace purposes should be engaged.

The state Role consists, from their point of view, only in assistance by economic methods to the defensive enterprises during very limited ' transitive ' the period from the military man to nevoennomu. Therefore many western governments prefer not to define the position of conversion, being frequently limited to the general declarations. For the government conversion - additional budgetary expenses which are extremely undesirable in living conditions of many other social and economic problems.

Therefore for the majority of the western states in the decision of problems of conversion there is no real economic interest. They will respond to time requirement only in that degree in what it will be possible to affect them to the military business which has felt danger of real disarmament, any to anti-war movements, political parties, trade unions and other public organisations.
