Digital Development of the European Union - An Interdisciplinary Perspective

This edited volume analyses the digital development of the European Union, presenting an interdisciplinary perspective from the disciplines of political science, international relations, economics, and law. The contributions address the main areas where the EU can, and should act, for creating an efficient and protective digital space in Europe. The book highlights the responsibility of the European Union to work on the future of its digital development, looking for prosperity and defending the European conception of society. It explains how European values must be incorporated into the digital revolution and shows how the digital revolution of the EU will defend the Europeans from new threats. 

The book's comprehensive approach allows the reader to understand this process without in-depth knowledge of the specific discipline. Therefore, it is a must-read for everybody interested in a better understanding of digital development, European Union policy, and the future of Europe.
