ResumoThis article argues that entrepreneurial leadership (Young, 1991) of European Commission president Jacques Delors was a necessary factor in the creation of an Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). More specifically, it examines Delors’s role during the creation and duration of the Delors Committee in which a group of member state central bank governors and experts met to examine how an EMU could be accomplished. The Delors Report led to a change in the German position and a weakening of the British position. This article contributes to the growing literature on leadership in international bargaining, as well as the role of the Commission in European integration.
