Building on the ideas articulated by Christopher Ford and others, the United States can accelerate the shift from a focus on incorporating gold-standard terms into its cooperation agreements to an emphasis on achieving gold-standard effects from its cooperation agreements.[36] With the latter, the value rests in crafting custom cooperation agreements that address holistically the specific nuclear-proliferation and nuclear-security challenges presented by each customer state. Since 2010, Russia has expanded its cooperation portfolio by adding agreements with less-developed states in the Middle East, North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa, coinciding with the substantive improvements in the nonproliferation quality of Russia's portfolio of in-force cooperation agreements. While Russia has subsequently recentralized government authority over the nuclear industry and strengthened its nuclear-export controls, these Yeltsin-era cooperation agreements reduce the average quality of Russia's portfolio of agreements. The weak nonproliferation controls in certain Russian agreements with high-risk states are especially problematic in the case of Iran, which does not have a US 123 agreement, and Vietnam, where the Russian standard has been considerably lower than the analogous US agreement.
