Abstract
One of the founding fathers of the European Union, Robert Schuman embodies the most genuine spirit of European reconciliation. Visionary and realist, he brought to French diplomacy a new aim, a new dynamism, a new aspiration. Working in collaboration with West Germany, especially with its post-war chancellor Konrad Adenauer (1876–1967), and drawing on the creative work of French political economist Jean Monnet (1888–1979), Schuman was the leading advocate for and public author of the plan for the European Coal and Steel Community, which pooled French and German coal and steel industries and anticipated the European Union.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
