The European Coal and Steel Community was marked by institutional innovations. They have masked strong continuities in administrative and business communities and their governance practices, however, which persisted after 1945. Based on fresh research in national and international organisation archives, this article explores the origins before, during and after the First World War of two key elements of these practices, their evolution over time and their influence on post-war Western European governance of the steel sector: the struggle for executive autonomy and close transnational industry cooperation. Both practices clashed in the ECSC, became amalgamated and had lasting impact on the present-day European Union and its democratic deficit.

管理欧洲一体化的跨国实践：钢铁行业的行政自治和新社团主义协调

欧洲煤钢共同体的特点是制度创新。然而，它们掩盖了行政和商业社区及其治理实践的强大连续性，但这种连续性在 1945 年之后仍然存在。本文基于对国家和国际组织档案的最新研究，探讨了第一次世界大战前、中和后两个关键事件的起源。这些做法的要素、它们随时间的演变以及它们对战后西欧钢铁行业治理的影响：争取行政自主权和密切的跨国行业合作的斗争。这两种做法在 ECSC 中发生冲突，合并在一起，对当今的欧盟及其民主赤字产生了持久影响。
