Foreign Policy Of Lithuania: Linking Theory To Practice
Foreign Policy Of Lithuania: Linking Theory To Practice

Summary/Abstract: In 2004, Lithuania successfully implemented its two most important foreign policy goals - becoming the member of both the European Union and NATO. However, the country now has to assert its status and position in the Euro-Atlan-tic community of liberal democracies. Lithuania faces an arguably more complex agenda, which has no clear end-goals or deadlines. The security challenges are difficult to identify and predict. The global and European strategic environment is best characterised by an ever-growing uncertainty: the transatlantic relations continue to be tense, Russia, paradoxically, is balancing between the perspective of disintegration and re-emerging as an expansionist imperial power, and the Eu-ropean Union is undergoing one of the most severe internal crises in decades.
