title = "Challenges to the European single market at thirty: renationalisation, resilience, or renewed integration?",
abstract = "The European single market has been a flagship achievement of the European integration process. Nevertheless, 30 years after the launch of the single market, there are still instances of technical, legal, and bureaucratic obstacles to trade. In some areas of the single market, the EU has recently launched important new integration initiatives. At the same time, EU-wide crises have exacerbated already existing regulatory challenges, such as the development of common standards to ensure the interoperability of the underlying financial, IT, energy grid, and defence infrastructures. The introduction to this special issue puts forward two overarching hypotheses to examine how hybrid governance arrangements in the single market architecture have affected the dynamics of integration in a range of key areas, such as banking, digital single market, energy, defence, transportation, the network industries, and higher education. We distinguish between and analyse three different outcomes: renationalisation, renewed integration, and resilience.",
