Jean Monnet Chair
Publications
An important component of the Jean Monnet DEFI Chair is research and publications. During the project of implementation, there will be several articles and papers published, which will be shared in this page.
DEFI Jean Monnet Chair has coordinated the number 131 of the journal CIDOB d’Afers Internacionals.
The journal is indexed in Scopus and its impact in Spain and America is significant, giving the work of the Chair the right platform to disseminate its work on digitalization.
The topic, proposed by DEFI staff, is on The digitalisation of the European Union: repercussions and expectations, from technology platforms and artificial intelligence to Fintech, cybersecurity, the gig economy and social networks, the digital society is already a fully defined and implemented reality. In this context, the digital development of the European Union (EU) has reached a crucial stage: from a range of perspectives the decisions and regulations adopted on this issue in the near future will significantly affect the whole of the EU, including the lives of its citizens and beyond. Issue 131 of Revista CIDOB d'Afers Internacionals analyses the process of digitalising the EU. Its multidisciplinary approach – taking in the fields of labour, security, information and politics, among others – helps understand the phenomenon, while also contributing to its scientific dissemination and encouraging critical thinking with the aim of achieving a fair, inclusive and competitive digital society.
