Digitalization, Neofunctionalism, and Integration in the European Union

This research focuses on the analysis of the general impact of digital integration in the European Union as a new way to deal with public services and public policies implementation. The perspective of the work is based on the long-term development of the European Union following the spillover effect of neofunctionalism integration theory. Consequently, the European Union is understood as a process, an initiative in progress that has not reached its final shape and requires the innovative approaches to keep the right track of development. As a result, the work explores the potential of digitalization fostering the European integration to a new level in the long process of achieving a stable integrated, wealthy, and peaceful area.
