Richard Nikolaus von Coudenhove-Kalergi

Richard Nikolaus von Coudenhove-Kalergi was an Austrian-Japanese political thinker and founder of the Pan-Europa movement, best known for his 1923 manifesto Pan-Europa, which argued that a federated Europe was necessary to overcome nationalist conflict and secure peace. Through the Paneuropean Union, founded in 1926, he promoted practical idealism and a common European political identity, influencing later advocates of European integration. His writings on European federation and political ethics made him one of the earliest systematic proponents of a united Europe.
