Abstract

This paper highlights specific perspectives on European integration using theoretical approaches and views on the process of integration in the light of the experience of the Eurozone debt crisis management in 2010-2017. An attempt is made to link the broader political and theoretical debate regarding this issue, the process of European integration, as well as related legitimacy issues. This attempt to link, on the one hand, the debate between decision-makers in the policy field and on the other, European integration theorists, attempts to formulate the context of the prospects, current problems and opportunities regarding European integration.
