Summary:"Jacques Delors became a household name during his decade as President of the European Commission." "This study explores the combination of personal, political and other factors which lay behind the 'Delors phenomenon' and assesses Delors' legacy for political leadership and institutional reform in the European Union. It addresses questions including the role of individual leaders in contemporary politics and the contested legitimacy of the EU as a political system. Drake traces the development of Delors' thinking and expertise on European integration, and draws on his public life after the European Commission for additional perspectives on his Commission presidency." "Drawing on exclusive interviews with Delors, this study of his life and Commission presidency is a resource for students of all levels in European and French Politics, as well as the general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
