Duchêne with help of Robert Schaetzel, President of the US Association of the Monnet Foundation, initiated in 1983 a project concentrating on Monnet's technique, to explain how he worked with such skill within national and inter-national bureauracies and brought about extraordinary change. They drew heavily on those who worked closely with Monnet. The project explored with particular attention the extent Monnet's talents at producing action were sui generis as contrasted with trasposable. This project received funding from the McKnight Haight fund through the Atlantic Institute Foundation and from European Commission through the intervention of Emile Nöel, President of EUI. This project provided the parameters for the Duchêne biography of Monnet.
