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unpublished documents, correspondence, and original historical data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
Jean Monnet and Canada 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.'
