Contents of the book:
This book is written in Dutch.
The European Union is transforming the digital landscape through an ambitious legislative programme that links technological innovation to fundamental rights and societal values. This handbook analyses the legal architecture of this transformation through concrete cases and practical applications.
The nine chapters cover the full spectrum of digital regulation: from identity and privacy to platform economy and cybersecurity. Each chapter connects relevant EU legislation with technological realities and societal impact. The casuistic approach makes abstract legal concepts directly applicable for students.
Each chapter puts the almost 100 European directives and regulations from the Digital Decade into perspective and presents mini-cases to make the often abstract concepts concrete. All legislation is linked to the underlying fundamental rights from the European Charter and connected to practice.
After reading you will be able to:
- Placing the core legislation of the Digital Decade within the broader framework of European values and fundamental rights
- Analyzing the interplay between technological innovation, societal impact and legal safeguards
- Assessing concrete issues around digital inclusion, security and artificial intelligence from a legal perspective
- Formulate practical solutions that are both technically feasible and legally sound
