title = {Die Digitalisierungsstrategie der Europäischen Union – Meilensteine und Handlungsfelder zwischen digitaler Souveränität und grüner Transformation},
year = {2021},
note = {Digital transformation has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today, it affects almost all areas of social and economic life. As a
cross-cutting issue and solution to specific challenges, it is also
increasingly the subject of initiatives at EU level. Since 2015, the
EU has developed a comprehensive digital agenda that involves various
areas, ranging from the single market to foreign and security policy.
The paper traces the dynamic development on the basis of strategy
documents and policy guidelines in three phases with a focus on 2020
and 2021. It takes stock of the EU’s overarching strategy towards
digitalisation by examining what the EU understands by it, what its
goals are, and what role it draws for itself in shaping the digital
transformation. The study shows that the EU tries to grasp
digitalisation in a substantial number of policy-specific strategies
and guidelines, using mainly four patterns of interpretation - partly
in parallel - which differ in terms of geopolitical, environmental,
socio-political and economic policy framing.},
