Migration policy was recognised as a relevant topic a decade ago, when it was acknowledged as a tool to improve demographical and economic situation of the countries. Nowadays migration issues is one of the mostly discussed theme in the European Union. Through the incessant emigration, ageing of the citizens and brain drain phenomenon Lithuania inevitably face growing demand of imigrants from third –countries. Although it is recognized in Lithuania that economic and demographic situation of the country can be improved by means of imigration from third – countries, migration policy in regard to the third-countrynationals is not ideal and it's practical implementation does not operate well. Lithuania does not have enough practise in this scope – migration policy in our country has been relevant only since Lithuania became the member of European Union and national migration policy was started to harmonise with requirements of the European Union. According to the results of analysis can be concluded that in order to improve implementation of migration policy in Lithuania, firstly it must be tought about purposeful and consecutive development of migration policy and integration of third-country nationals. Unfortunately migration policy in Lithuania at the moment is based only on short-term economic needs.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ppaa.13.1.6758 ; Nors Lietuvoje jau pripažįstama, kad šalies ekonominė ir demografinė situacija gali būti gerinama pasitelkus imigrantus iš trečiųjų valstybių, tačiau Lietuvos migracijos politika trečiųjų šalių piliečių atžvilgiu iki šiol daugeliu atvejų yra problemiška, o praktinis jos įgyvendinimas stringa. Lietuva neturi itin daug patirties šioje srityje – ši politika tapo aktuali tik Lietuvai įstojus į Europos Sąjungą (toliau – ES). Nuo tada Lietuvos migracijos politika pradėta derinti prie ES teisės reikalavimų. Atsižvelgiant į tai autoriai analizuoja migracijos politikos sampratą ir identifikuoja pagrindines Lietuvos migracijos politikos priemones. Remiantis atlikta analize, ...
Today, in terms of policy as a fundamental phenomenon, often associate with the concept of bureaucracy in two definitions good and bad. Austria's government structure has some unique features, which is important to analyze, given the fact that the Republic of Lithuania in this field must learn. One of the most important principles in Austria is social partnership, which is accompanied by a democratic political factors and a long history of development. The Republic of Austria joined in the EU since 1995 (Lithuania – in 2004), so the experience and practice of this country is an example for other in local government system is appropriate and purposeful. The Government in the Republic of Lithuania wants to improve the management of the institutional capacity, to manage effectively budget funds, to improve public services for citizens. It is true that the government does not always succeed in achieving those objectives, which are named in the Government program and strategic direction setting of development of Lithuanian documents. Perhaps the most important reason – undemocratic states and the public in the past. Today's fundamental consequence of the Republic of Austria is extremely stable polar state. They noticed a number of political changes in countries that are now gaining political experience. To assess the stability of the Republic of Austria with local political context, it is important to review the country's legal framework, practical application of the active participation of citizens and local institutions. The main Austrian political system of local government in respect of properties are summarized and analyzed in this article. ; Straipsnyje, remiantis lyginamosios analizės metodu, analizuojama Lietuvos ir Austrijos vietos savivaldos sistema. Autoriai siekia identifikuoti valstybių savivaldos sistemų esminius bruožus, aptaria teisinius vietos savivaldos pagrindus. Ypatingas dėmesys skiriamas savivaldos santykiams su valstybės institucijomis ir piliečių dalyvavimo vietos savivaldos institucijose galimybių analizei. Straipsnyje daroma išvada, kad Lietuvai būtų tikslinga perimti kai kuriuos Austrijos politinės sistemos elementus, pavyzdžiui, įtraukti bendruomenes į vietos savivaldos sistemą, suteikiant joms juridinį statusą atstovauti ir dalyvauti sprendžiant vietos problemas. Vietos savivalda Austrijos Respublikoje yra regioninė. Tokios savivaldos sistemos esminis skirtumas, palyginti su Lietuvos savivaldos sistema, yra tas, kad vietos savivaldos institucijoms suteikta autonomija ir jos turi suteiktus įgaliojimus veikti bendruomeniniais tikslais.
