This chapter evaluates the EU's cybersecurity policy from four perspectives – neofunctionalism, liberal intergovernmentalism, post-functionalism, and the imperial paradigm.

Using this contribution's findings and elaborations, a proposal on the policy-associated model is made. Having observed the empirical data, while analytically reflecting on actuality, it can be argued that a 'Cyber Maastricht' is long overdue. ; peer-reviewed
