18.10.2022


Abstract

A review of EU Digital Policy in response to threats and opportunities of digitalisation.

This paper presents an analysis of the threats and opportunities of the digital transformation to democracy as well as a review of European Union (EU) policy in this regard. This paper, therefore, has two purposes: to reflect on how digitalisation can 1) be a threat and 2) an opportunity for democracy; and to reflect on the development of EU policies in the face of the above.
