  • First Online:
E-Governance in the European Union

Abstract

Political will and societal support are required within the European Union to improve the situation of the organization addressing current problems and future challenges with innovative approaches based on terms of efficiency. Therefore, e-governance is a priority for the EU institutions, but what they tackle is implementation from different perspectives according to their essence and goals. The European institutions are key actors in the development and implementation of a system of e-governance in the European level. Nevertheless, it is a process facing numerous challenges, as the position of the Member States (not always favouring further integration). E-governance requires a strong political support for its implementation, and consequently the attitude of the EU institutions is crucial. This research analyses the positions of the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council, representing three different perspectives, as intergovernmentalism, federalism, and neofunctionalism, to understand the strategy on e-governance of each institution and their common interaction with the development of a common approach.
