This article argues that the emphasis on the global European vision necessitates a look at various aspects of nations, lands and regions relationaly rather than in aggregate, universal oversystemic terms. Moreover, the origins of ancient Greek idea of Europe are submitted for consideration.

The article discusses E. Frazer and N. Lacey's feminist project of the theory of justice. The project is being developed through a critique of formalist methodo­logy, characteristic of Kantian liberal theories of justice, and is based on the idea of a methodological synthesis of social and political theory. The possibi­lity of synthesis is revealed through a combination of interpretivist and ontological realist approaches to the issue of justice. Their main reproach to Kantian theories of justice is that they are ill-equipped to endogenize mechanisms of social exclusion and domi­nation, operating in society, which fails to distribute justice so that it may serve a well-being of each indi­vidual person.

The Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania adopted the Guidelines of the State Language Policy in 2003-2008 (Valstybinės kalbos politikos 2003-2008 m. gairės) prepared by the State Lithuanian Language Commission. The article considers the issue in more detail. More than once the language policy in Lithuania has been of double standard - one serving the interests of the (temporarily lost) state and the nation and the other, the official one working in the interests of the then authorities. Some manifestations of such policy have been preserved until now (cf. the English language and the European Union). The language elite can also be discussed in terms of double standard, since an aim to create the ideal language set up by the Lithuanian Language Association in 1936 seems to have been preserved until now despite the fact that the situation has changed, and a large part of the society have mastered standard Lithuanian. The Guidelines aim at increasing the language users' pride of their own language, since the success of the implementation of the language policy much depends on the language prestige. The article sets out to discuss ways of implementing the language policy in the modern democratically-minded society and accepting the role of linguists in it, the increasing role of (regional) dialects in fostering national consciousness, the relation between the language and its varieties (including regional varieties). The article focuses on the role of information technologies in promoting standard Lithuanian, implementing new instruments in language teaching and fostering its well-formedness, the importance of term data banks and other language data banks when providing information and involving the society into an active participation in their language preservation and development.
