Realism has been the dominant international relations theory for nearly seven decades focusing almost exclusively on power politics among states, but throughout these years the mankind has passed major technological, societal and economic transitions that also had their impact on the political sphere, including international politics. In public discourse these transitions are usually associatied with the terms "information society" or "global information revolution", whereas political scientists from their part started to use such concepts as "informational (or soft) power", "information warfare", or "information security", refering to a qualitative change in the nature of these traditional variables in political analysis. This article focuses on power, the main variable in the (neo)realist perspective, thus revising the relevance of the theory itself in the context of the information revolution of the 21st century. Although national power resources and consequently international power politics have recently been transforming and taking new forms, mostly involving soft power instruments and the modernization of national economies and militaries, the fundamental (neo)realist assumptions about the competitive nature of international politics are still valid in the information age.

The information revolution is changing the international system and the security environment in which we live. The state is loosing its monopoly of power in a global information space where, with the help of new technologies, people create their wellbeing and where, by means of the same modern technologies, military conflicts of a new type are occurring. The Western civilisation conception of a military conflict, based on the Clause-witz model where leaders set political goals and control soldiers; soldiers fight directly and become lawful targets of violence; and civilians do not participate in the conflict, but support their leaders by paying taxes and backing their political goals, is falling apart. A conflict of the information age is, in a sense, a "pre-Westphalian" conflict where crimes against civilians and the internal order of the state were the norm. The question arises of how the state may ensure the security of its citizens. The great powers try to find an answer in the strategies and programs of information operations. A great amount of attention is given to the public information of the state during a conflict, as well as to information security. In the latter sphere, Lithuania has already made its first steps; however, Lithuania needs to learn the principles of public information not only during conflict, but also during peacetime.

The article presents the analysis of impact of sustainable development to the right to information. By asserting that the purposefulness of the development of the society increases various expressions of human rights, stimulates the expansion of the content of human rights, the expansion of the content of the right to information is analysed. Theme of environment was early overvalued in sustainable development and in the content the right to information the themes of environment was early excluded. With the base of international, Eeuropean Uunion and national (Llithuanian) law analysis, the author makes conclusion, that the system of the realisation of the right to environmental information is being created. The base of this system is international order of the advising of environmental information. The system of the national (right to environmental information assurance also is based on international and Eeuropean Uunion standards. In the article is noticing that the advising of the environmental information to public is ensured with two ways: by regulating the right of public to participate an environmental impact assessment procedure and ensuring the right of public to environmental information, which is accumulated by the governmental institutions. The right to environmental information is recognised to public, i.e. that it recognised to each man without any stipulations or demands. The subjects of the advising of the environmental information are the institution of the state's government and subjects, which are planning corresponding economic activities whit environmental impact. These subjects advice environmental information to public only in the form, which is to ascertained to the participating in the environmental impact assessment procedure. The investigation of the Lithuania situation allows noticing, that the advising of the environmental information for a public with indication of governmental institutions is transferred to subjects, which are planning corresponding economic activities whit environmental impact.
