Both a result and catalyst of the Single Market, the Digital Single Market has become a different space from the Single Market, as the former is based on the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs), while the latter is the result of concerted actions and concessions by Member States in the European Union. The author argues that, similar to the Single Market, the Digital Single Market is an instrument, built by the influence of the Internet, which can provide a new means of socio-economic growth and development in Europe. While sharing many similar characteristics, the Single Market and the Digital Single Market diverge in important aspects, particularly with respect to policy. The research analyzes the interaction between policy actors, their influence in the European decision-making process, and their interests in order to establish a digital policy model, in comparison with market policy. Moreover, this volume considers the implementation process and the success of such initiatives under the current policy model, and puts forward policy recommendations. Ultimately, the author considers the utility of such research on digital policy, considering the current focus on migration, vulnerabilities to internal challenges (e.g., Brexit) and security threats, maintaining that the discussion of digital policies relates to an innovative vision of the European integration process and prospects for its future. 606 $aEuropean Economic Community literature 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEurope?Economic conditions 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aEuropean Integration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33010 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aEuropean Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45030 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 615 0$aEuropean Economic Community literature. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEurope?Economic conditions. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 14$aEuropean Integration. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aEuropean Economics. 615 24$aInnovation/Technology Management. 676 $a337.142 700 $aM?rcu?$b Mirela$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0897780 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255037303321 996 $aCrystalizing the EU Digital Policy$92010722 997 $aUNINA
