The digital revolution, the Internet and digitisation have fundamentally influenced human life, businesses, trade and the development of the economy. Globalisation has entered a new phase "underpinned by the movement of data across national borders, changing the nature, patterns and actors in international trade in goods and services" [OECD 2017, p. 2]. As a consequence of the ongoing phenomena, there are also changes within the framework of the functioning of the single market in the European Union (EU). The aim of the article is to present the main assumptions of the Digital Single Market (DSM) in the European Union and the state of their implementation. The adopted research method includes a literature survey, a study of the strategic documents of the European Union and their critical analysis. The article systematizes knowledge of the Digital Single Market in the European Union and completes it with the presentation of selected data, which allows for a better understanding of its significance for the development of European integration and economic growth.(original abstract)

Rewolucja cyfrowa, Internet i cyfryzacja mają wpływ na: wiele apsektów życia ludzkiego, przedsiębiorstwa, handel i rozwój gospodarki. Globalizacja wkroczyła w nową fazę, w której istotne znaczenie ma przepływ danych także pomiędzy granicami państw. W konsekwencji zachodzących zjawisk zauważalne są także zmiany w ramach funkcjonowania jednolitego rynku Unii Europejskiej (UE). Celem tego artykułu jest przedstawienie głównych założeń jednolitego rynku cyfrowego Unii Europejskiej, a także próba dokonania oceny dotychczasowego stanu jego realizacji. Przyjęta metoda badawcza obejmuje studium literatury przedmiotu oraz dokumentów strategicznych Unii Europejskiej i ich krytyczną analizę. Artykuł systematyzuje wiedzę na temat funkcjonowania jednolitego rynku cyfrowego i uzupełnia ją o prezentację wybranych danych wtórnych, co pozwala lepiej zrozumieć jego znaczenie dla rozwoju integracji europejskiej i wzrostu gospodarczego w Unii Europejskiej.(abstrakt oryginalny)
