Civic Identity of Ethnic Minorities in Lithuania and its Manifestation in the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
No full textDue to the ongoing processes of economic, cultural and social integration, most countries are finding it increasingly difficult to preserve their uniqueness. Consequences of globalisation had prompted many countries to make an effort in conserving their national and foster their civic identities. More and more attention is being given to issues regarding the preservation of national identity and ethnicity, and the nurturing of national self-awareness. All of these issues are especially relevant in small and multicultural states, which are finding it exceedingly difficult to find appropriate models and methods of fostering their statehood, while also taking into account the needs of their ethnic minorities, cultivating a civic society, and protecting the singularity of cultural and ethnic minorities. This is especially relevant to Lithuania, as the rate of emigration remains high, with the place of émigrés being slowly replaced by representatives of other ethnic groups and cultures. Regardless of the various measures applied during attempts at the liberalisation of policies regarding ethnic minorities, non-integrated representatives of such minority groups can become a factor of not only national, but also of international instability
The Nuclear Program of North Korea and US Preventive Diplomacy.
No full textNorth Korean nuclear ambitions during the last few decades (since 1994) are still one of the most increasing not only in the Eastern Asia region but also all over the World. The increasing number of nuclear weapons tests that are carried out by North Korea during the recent years (the last completed09/09/2016) clearly shows us obvious progress. Taking into account the current situation, one of the most important questions in the context of international security has become the security situation in the East Asia region. Moreover, the current situation poses a threat not only to the East Asia region, but for the entire international community as well. A new nuclear state in a certain region particularly in Eastern Asia can strongly affect the established balance of power, or even replace it throughout the international arena
Knowledge retention process evaluation during soldiers’ rotation.
No full textIn today‘s dynamic, modern and knowledge-based Army individual soldiers knowledge became the basis for further development of the Army, so inevitably created the need for retention of individual soldiers knowledge in order to reuse it in the future to speed up the decision making process and avoid mistakes conducted in the past. Knowledge retention process, described in Lithuanian and foreign scientists’ publications, international scientific conferences publications is understood and interpreted differently. Knowledge retention process evaluation criteria differs as well as criteria values are different in the most of the scientific publications. Various authors have different interpretations of the knowledge retention process evaluation criteria that affect effectiveness of the process. Therefore, it is very difficult to evaluate knowledge retention process. The Army faces challenges related to knowledge retention under the officers’ rotation conditions

Multiculturalism and migration influence on the national security (The Great Britain case).
No full textRecent processes of globalization have determined the rise of migration all over the world: migration flows, their trends and scope have changed. Multiculturalism and migration is one of the most contentious political issues of our time. By considering migration from a National security perspective, the paper reviews the Great Britain’s policy approach, together with the approaches adopted by the Europe Union as well. According to numerous statistical data, many European countries face the ever-growing extent of international migration, including irregular migration. These spreading in-flows of immigrants have a strong impact on the social and political climate of host countries, which are often challenged by the growing number of immigrants and, thus, should review their immigration politics to match them to contemporary processes of globalization. It is important to investigate the contemporary trends in world migration and to discuss current changes in the social situation and immigration politics in Great Britain. The aim of the research is to survey and to determine the prevailing immigration in-flows and tendencies to the Great Britain, as the one of the most prominent immigration destinations in Europe, focusing on the multicultural impact of these flows on the influence on the national security. The paper concludes that while migration is certainly a security concern, the Great Britain has come a long way in a short period in developing and implementing initiatives to secure the borders to exclude those who would seek to do harm to the country. While the position on identifying, and removing those who should not be in the country is improving, more work is needed in this domain. The research results demonstrate that increased in-flows of immigration to the Great Britain hasn’t degrade a crime domain itself and worsen the national security situation of the country

The influence of officer rotation on their families.
No full textOfficers' rotation is one of the key instruments to raise the qualifications of the personnel of the organization, to reduce corruption and monotony of service. In today's soldier rotation officers are inevitable, but a rotation also has side-effects felt by officers and their families. Scientific literature about rotations theme is not much. As regards the precession, have several studies carried out in the past, but the material is outdated and recently about officers precession written only fragmentary actions. The Lithuanian army in the Rotation process also is carried out, however, an analysis of scientific literature are being perceived process be caused problems. It has been noted that the process of rotation is not fully perfected, and therefore there is a problem, which opens the way to the discussions. The final work deals with a rotation process by the Training and Doctrine Command of the Lithuanian Armed Forces on the board and to present solutions that can improve the functioning of this process and to reduce the arising problems. Work applied scientific literature, documents, orders and laws analysis. In order to obtain objective and accurate information to choose high-ranking officers who has accumulated considerable experience of defense contingents Objective assessment answers were selected practicing nurses employed method. Obtain resumés data were systematized and compare with theoretical material and then are hereby confirmed. On the basis of an analysis of the data it has been observed that the Training and Doctrine Command of the officers and their families in private life to be heavily dependent on the process of rotation challenges. It was noted that the process is not only engage staff shall consist of conditions for him to improve and pursue career but disrupts family life psychological and spiritual problems. After the analysis of factor noted unit personnel serving in the two types: careerists and family people. With regard to articles related to a rotation topics, examination of documentation, practicing nurses employed replies, and accompanied by a work conclusions, I propose officers take into account the committees rotation of soldier that is in rotation of his marital status, expectations, place of residence and of course the second half of the expectations. I also propose to start planning officers' careers, so that they know where will serve after several years in order to be able to unbend plan for the future

A noticeable tendency in member states – increasing attention to national interest, not focusing on the global perception of the world. Problem of the paper: Increasing Euroscepticism and empirical evidence of the occurrence in the context of United Kingdom leaving the EU. In order to analyze the topic, and to explain current processes forming Eurosceptic disposition, the divide of the theoretical model of neoliberalism and the empirical evidence as well as theoretical analysis of Euroscepticism is utilized. The aim of the paper – to analyze the effect of growth of Euroscepticism on the results of the referendum in the UK. In order to reach the aim, the following aims were set: to analyze which factors are in place to affect the expression of Eurosceptic sentiment in EU social and political processes; to explain the reasons of radical though formation as well the increase of popularity of aforementioned thoughts; to analyze the process of decision-making in the political elite in the UK and possible economic outcomes for the UK economy. The following hypothesis is provided: UK referendum concerning leaving the EU (BREXIT) was affected by development of Eurosceptic tendencies. During the research, four conclusions have been made: 1.) According to P. Taggart’s method, Euroscepticism and its growth is best noticeable in largest EU member states, which gradually move from soft approach Euroscepticism towards hard approach Euroscepticism. 2.) The process of leaving the EU is extremely complicated and time-consuming. It is thought that the impact of “Brexit” will affect the UK economy the most. 3.) Hypothesis – partially confirmed. Euroscepticism is evident in the country, nevertheless the Anglo-Saxon behavioral tradition and perception of non-continental Europe has a bigger impact
