Abstract :
[en] The digital turn is having a major impact on geopolitics in terms of power, governance and regulation, leading to a proliferation of stakeholders and networks at multiple levels, new dynamics of competition, and novel ways of working. Digital technologies have also brought about a paradigm shift in information and communication systems, with the emergence of new media that will have a long-term impact on individual and collective democracy. (New) media have a key role to play in these challenges.This paper grounded in an interdisciplinary approach will draw on relevant archives to examine theoretical, conceptual and methodological frameworks and explore these issues.

European Integration qualifies as perhaps the most interesting experiment in present-day international relations. Throughout its existence, the European Union’s power as an economic, political or military actor has changed constantly. The current status of the EU has an impact on how the EU functions and is perceived in the globalising world we live in today. Over the past decades, ‘the EU in the world’ has been a key theme in European Studies, International Relations, European Law, European Economics, European History and other studies of European integration. These studies acknowledge the fact that the EU ‘as such’ has acquired a role on the global stage, alongside and, in close cooperation with its own Member States. While knowledge thus exists, it is confined to the disciplinary silos that make up our scholarly community. The present conference aims to confront the different perspectives and insights to better understand the role of the Union in a globalising world.
