Robert Schuman
On 9th May 1950 Robert Schuman (1886-1963) made the historic declaration that would form the foundation of the European Community. What is seldom appreciated is the remarkable degree to which Schuman's actions were the conscious implementation of the Neo-Thomistic project of Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903). Leo sought to employ the intellectual resources of St Thomas Aquinas to achieve «the restoration, both in rulers and peoples, of the principles of the Christian life in civil and domestic society». The resolution of the Church's difficulties with the French Republic and republicanism generally was a central goal of Leo's programme. In the half-century that followed a series of philosophers sought to envisage the concrete conditions under which Leo's vision could be realised. Foremost among them was Jacques Maritain (1882-1973). Robert Schuman was a close student of Aquinas and committed to the reconciliation of the Church and the Republic. As French Foreign Minister he sought to act upon Maritain's belief that a European federation conceived under the banner of liberty would ultimately lead to the establishment of a new Christendom.
Robert Schuman
Le 9 mai 1950 naissait la Communauté européenne du charbon et de l’acier (CECA), ancêtre de l’actuelle Communauté européenne. A l’origine de ce projet historique qui bouleversa le vieux continent, un homme discret et méconnu : Robert Schuman. Né en 1886 à Luxembourg, Robert Schuman est alsacien-lorrain, donc sujet de l’Empire allemand. Il ne deviendra français qu’en 1918, à l’âge de 32 ans. Elu député de la Moselle, sous-secrétaire d’Etat aux Réfugiés dans le gouvernement de Paul Reynaud, il est arrêté par les nazis et emprisonné pendant sept mois avant d’être envoyé en résidence surveillée dans le Palatinat. Il poursuivra une brillante carrière politi...

Schuman's Europe
With the EU in crisis and struggling to maintain its unity, there has never been a better time to look into the beginnings of the unification process. Schuman's Europe: His frame of reference explores the original vision of a unified Europe by Robert Schuman, the main architect of European unification. It examines how his thoughts, personality, religious background as a practicing catholic and his origins from the region of Alsace-Lorraine all came together in his vision of European unification. Schuman considered the European spiritual and cultural heritage to be the raison d'être of European unification. He advocated integration in small steps - taking into account basic human psychology - and therefore believed that the process of unification would take several generations. National interests were to be safeguarded as much as possible, provided they did not go against common European interests. Schuman's vision provides a refreshing view on current European society, gives an insight into the cause of the problems the EU is currently facing and supplies a frame of reference that can be used to work on a solution.
The Schuman Plan and the British Abdication of Leadership in Europe
Edmund Dell examines the Attlee government's rejection of the Schuman Plan for the establishment of a common market for coal and steel and reassesses Bevan's conduct as foreign secretary. The story is placed in the context of the "big questions" dominating British policy formation: security, the dollar shortage, the American attack on the sterling area, and pressure for European integration.
