“…The European Union (EU) represents the quintessence of this model of multilevel governance. 1 Far from being ivory towers detached from the external world, the EU institutions have strong ties with private stakeholders and perform a magnetic power on non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The existence of a rich and dynamic private-based network surrounding the European Community emerged by the time of the Single European Act (1986).…”

Thanks to its innovative supranational features, the European Coal and Steel Community is widely recognized as the cornerstone of the European integration process. This article offers an alternative history of the European Coal and Steel Community's origins by highlighting the role of transnational expertise and public diplomacy. More precisely, this study seeks to demonstrate that the policies carried out by Jean Monnet, the mastermind of European Coal and Steel Community's blueprint, originated from the plans elaborated by the New York-based think tank Council on Foreign Relations. While advising the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, the Council on Foreign Relations formed a policy network with European policymakers sharing similar political values and goals. Although the interactions between these figures have never been studied, new findings reveal that the Council on Foreign Relations–Monnet partnership proved instrumental in improving inter-Allied coordination, managing postwar recovery and framing the idea of European unity. Eventually, the Council on Foreign Relations helped Monnet to define, adjust and promote the European Coal and Steel Community Treaty draft. In this perspective, the foundation of the first European institution derived from a long-term strategic design rooted in wartime planning and transatlantic diplomatic exchanges.

Mainstream internet histories employ legacy perspectives to establish lineages of continuity that demonstrate how American pasts still operate in and affect our Internet present. This article rethinks legacies in internet history by positioning the notion of legacy systems as conceptual basis for a genealogical and nonteleological framing of internet history aimed to investigate lost network events as legacies of European pasts that persist and continue to affect our networked present. To demonstrate its historiographical value, I use the history of Euronet as a case in point, using a variety of primary and secondary sources, to argue that the legacy system of European cooperation and politics on which Euronet was imagined and built, persists within internet history through a variety of "successes" and "failures," of which Euronet is only one.
