Sažetak

This study provides a systematic review of digital governance in the European Union under crisis conditions, analysing 27 Web of Science-indexed publications (2018– 2025). It examines how crises such as COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and economic disruptions have transformed digitalisation from a modernisation tool into a structural pillar of administrative resilience and democratic legitimacy. Using bibliometric mapping and thematic synthesis, the review identifies five key dimensions of digital resilience: infrastructure, competences, trust, regulation, and coordination. The findings show that digitally advanced administrations, such as Estonia and Slovenia, converted crises into opportunities for institutional learning, while fragmented systems in Central and Eastern Europe displayed uneven levels of maturity. The study contributes to digital institutionalism by proposing an integrative framework of resilience-by-design and highlights the need for anticipatory governance that aligns innovation, ethics, and accountability in future European digital policies.
