You might remember a post that Santiago Iniguez wrote (Sep.2005) about Jean Monnet "To follow an inspirational pragmatist": The style of leadership required for multilateral initiatives, such as this one, was exemplified in Jean Monnet (1888-1979), considered as one of the fathers of the European Union (EU). It is a leadership model that may inspire other multinational projects where the interests of many different parties, each with its own agenda, have to be combined to produce a win-win situation.
Here is a link to an explanation of the Jean Monnet Program (pdf 
, 1.91 MB) and how it has helped European Academic Integration.
The objective of the Jean Monnet Programme is to stimulate excellence in teaching, research and refl ection in European integration studies in higher education institutions throughout the world.
With a presence in 60 countries on five continents, reaching 250.000 students every year, the Jean Monnet network is a crucial instrument to raising the level of knowledge and awareness of European integration among future generations, both within the European Union and internationally
