Three case studies were examined (Westland, NATO Frigate Replacement-90, and European Fighter Aircraft) which involved defence procurement decision-making from 1985 to the present by the government of the United Kingdom. These cases involved three different outcomes in terms of national/multinational production: 1) national, 2) UK/US, 3) UK/Europe and 4) UK/Europe and US. Each case examined the technical, economic, socio-political and military variables in an attempt to explain and generalize about the future of defence procurement in the United Kingdom. The case studies resulted in the findings that technological, economic and political considerations were of utmost importance in determining whether the United Kingdom chose to produce a weapon system with the United States and/or Europe.
