An Analysis of the Effects of European Community 1992 on the United States DoD Acquisition Environment.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a basis for understanding the necessary U.S. preparations for the single, unified market of European Community 1992. The potential military, political and economic effects of the European Community on the United States defense acquisition environment are not known. This study primarily concentrated on the economic effects of the Community; however, the relationship of political and military factors and their effects on defense acquisition was also investigated. Specific courses of action already taken by both the European and American governments were evaluated. These actions, coupled with the potential for expected future actions by both partners, called for making a prediction of the necessary U.S. preparations for the powerful European Community. A comprehensive approach was taken with the existing literature on European Community 1992 and factors relating to the Community. Based on a model developed from the literature review, primary data obtained from personal interviews was integrated into final research analysis. A second conceptual model incorporated all of the major and some of the lesser research concepts from the entire study.
