Naujoji Pasaulinė Santvarka Pagal Anne-Marie Slaughter: Kelios Dvejonės Dėl Lietuvos Valstybės Tvarumo
A New World Order According to Anne-Marie Slaughter: Some Doubts Concerning the Sustainability of Lithuania’s Statehood

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of globalization may be approached from a dynamic point of view as the diversified freedom of movement in the world of today in such areas as work force, commodities, services, and capital. It may also be approached from a static point of view as a structure, a more or less stable network of existing and acting wherein the aforementioned types of freedom manifest themselves. It is from this latter standpoint that the author discusses one of the most recent paradigms of the contemporary world presented by the U.S. scholar Anne-Marie Slaughter as a complex field of action for global governance, an international network of state representatives interacting between themselves in a relatively autonomous fashion, disaggregating the state into many political functions that no longer need to be run by the unitary state. The article concludes by drawing attention to a highly probable scenario whereby ever growing and more overt efforts are witnessed in the near future on the part of the Lithuanian State bureaucracy to view and treat their State in more or less egotistic terms as but a mere transitional stage, a kind of springboard for more lucrative career opportunities in various nowadays proliferating international and supranational networks of global administration. What is presented as a natural and rational development of a communal service may in fact turn out to be a new very aggressive anti-communal form of power beyond the control and understanding of the disaggregated, that is divided and thus even further weakened common people.
