Debt crisis in Greece

The debt crisis that took place in 2010 in Greece, had a global impact. It did not affect only Greece, but also the whole, and has threatened the highest level of European integration - single currency, the euro. This paper analyzes the causes that caused the crisis, as well as the consequences and implications that the Greek debt crisis meant for the European Union and the future of European integration. Analysis of wide spectrum of domestic and international causes makes it clear that the Greek crisis was not just a random turbulence, but the logical culmination of the problems and imbalances in Greece over the past decade. Special attention is paid to the role of the euro and the current account deficit, which played the major role in creating the crisis. The thesis also examines the process of the crisis, rescue aid package and risks of possible debt contagion.Final part of the thesis is dedicated to the analysis of possible alternative solutions and scenarios
