(Read❤PDF) Jean Monnet and Canada: Early Travels and the Idea of European Unity (European Union Studies)

Description :
Jean Monnet (1888-1979) is often viewed as the chief architect
of the European Coal and Steel Community, which over time
evolved into today's European Union. Monnet spent his early
years working as an agent for his father, a cognac producer. It
was this experience that took him to Scandinavia, England, the
United States, and most importantly Canada, where he was
exposed to the country's unique form of federalism.Drawing on
a wide variety of empirical sources, including unpublished
documents, correspondence, and original historical data
extracted from archives both in Canada and Europe, Trygve
Ugland's em Jean Monnet and Canada /em argues that the
extensive period of time Monnet spent in Canada between
1907 and 1914 had a formative influence on the achievements
of his later years, particularly on the institutional 'construction
of Europe.'
