This thesis analyzes key variables and processes in France, the United Kingdom, and the Federal Republic of Germany in an attempt to determine the factors unique to each nation that tend to inhibit or promote movement toward integration of the European arms industries. For the purposes of this study it is assumed that defense production costs will be constantly increasing, while a variety of other global factors continue to produce a smaller arms market and increased competition among suppliers. With these factors known, the political, military, and economic roles of national arms industries are isolated as potential indicators of future integration in Europe and the significance of a joint venture involving any of these nations may be judged with greater confidence.
