The Classic studies
on the Schuman Plan are:
- Monnet, J. Memoires,
Paris 1976, 341-392 (which is part autobiography and part political
manifesto) - please see the discussion papers by Jean Monnet (05/08/1943
and 03/05/1950)
- Diebold, W. The
Schuman Plan: A Study in Economic Cooperation, 1950-1959, New York,
1959 (which, however, has very little to say on the negotiations themselves).
