Abstract: In this paper we consider a special class ofn-person potential games and investigate partial cooperation between a portion of the players that sign a cooperative agreement. Existence results of partial cooperative equilibria are obtained and some possible applications are discussed, particularly a Cournot oligopoly and an international water resources management model.
