The Uniting of Europe: Political, Social, and Economic Forces, 1950-1957

This work uses the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) as a case study of the community formation processes that occur across traditional national and state boundaries. Haas points to the ECSC as an example of an organization with the power to redirect the loyalties and expectations of political actors.

ERNST HAAS (1924-2003) was Robson Research Professor of Government at the University of California, Berkeley.
