The governmental promotion of culture philanthropy as a significant issue in culture policy is widely discussed in scientific literature. Many authors (Sulek 2010, Payton, 2000, etc.) argue that, though philanthropy concept has antique origins, at present still there is no comprehensive perception of its full meaning and no well-thought-out definition exists, thus, it is not astonishing that understanding of philanthropy is pretty much embedded in social, cultural and political settings. Culture philanthropy process involves different philanthropy actors – donors, intermediaries and recipients. The paper aims to discuss theoretical and practical aspects of culture philanthropy, using three differents approaches – perceptions by all three groups of actors in culture philanthropy. The paper analyses the concept of philanthropy as well as perceptions of culture policy in Lithuania. Data analysis is dwelling on the findings of the qualitative research conducted in 2014 on culture philanthropy actors' perceptions and experiences.

This article is a short introduction to how interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives can be developed for analyzing the phenomenon of national mobilization. The successful mass mobilization in Lithuania demonstrantes that Soviet mental programming was not successful in changing, using Rorty's terminology, the most parochial terms in the final vocabularies of Lithuanians. National identity was preserved during the period of occupation, and provided the grounds for collective action. The success of mobilization (in the "noisy phase") was closely connected with national values that were preserved during the period of Soviet occupation (the "quiet phase"), using various unobtrusive practices of contention in the context of bureaucratic nationalism, when state institutions in Lithuania were employing people who were nationally conscious. This, when a political opportunity emerged, allowed a rapid mass mobilization led by Sąjūdis.

The paper explores the paradoxes of the political philosophy of liberalism. Liberal conception of justice is incapable of providing grounds for an identity of liberalism. Liberals do not have a moral conception of their own. This is a source of a paradox. Political identity points to morality and moral identity points to politics. The aim of this paper is to clarify this paradox. Political liberalism is based on certain assumptions of a philosophy of culture. Liberals defend a conception of culture which justifies their inconsistencies. They lack any coherent conception of morality and politics. The article is an attempt to prove this by using the "final position" – an alternative to the Rawlsian "original position".

The smart governance chapter reveals the key aspects of smartness as a fundamental component of the smart social system and the concepts of smart governance, smart public governance. Second chapter introduces the key concepts of smart city, discusses the essentials of smart city, presents smart city model, identifies the quality of smart social system. The third chapter presents and discusses different conceptual approaches of cultural management, on which are based theoretical model of smart city cultural governance. The theoretical smart city cultural governance model consists of six dimensions and eighteen qualities of a smart social system. The methodological part of the research describes the chosen qualitative research strategy, which is applied for: analysis of the content of scientific sources, analysis of the content of legal acts and informants' provisions. The theoretical model of smart city cultural governance is based on the results of the analysis of theoretical sources and a partially structured interview results. In the analysis part of the research results legal acts of different level are analyzed: legal acts of the European Union, Lithuanian national level (strategic documents, legal acts), local level strategic documents. The project of the law called the Fundamentals of Lithuania culture, which is going a long way to be confirmed by the Parlament of the Republic of Lithuania, is also analyzed. 10 informants participated in the survey of informants' attitudes. The content analysis of the informants' attitudes was done, on which base was formed Šiauliai smart culture governing model. In order to determine the functioning of the smart social management system in Šiauliai, a quality assessment was carried out. According to the evaluation, eighteen qualities of the smart social system were distributed: 5 qualities work well, 10 qualities work moderately and 3 qualities perform poorly. For poor performed qualities are made recommendations.

The object of this dissertation of graduation is the place of Culture in a context of Knowledge society. The main aim is to introduce possibilities of digital code and to check out if Lithuanian society is already ready for to accept e-culture as one more alternative in their lives. It is very important to stress the meaning of the Cultural production in a new way of Economy that is based on a creative branch. So this is a reason why reader is introduced to the technique of Cultures' planning in a first chapter. Cultural organizations have long been protected from the harsh realities of the marketplace by relying on wealthy patrons or public subsidies. But as these sources of finance become scarcer they now find that they have to compete for an audience. Some have adjusted to this new reality, but many have not. Cultural planning in a context of knowledge society is the process of aligning cultural activities and organizations in a given area - usually geographic - in a way that helps to ensure they are mutually supportive and contribute effectively to other specific social, political or economic ambitions - such as encouraging social inclusion or attracting tourists or investors to an area. There is a wide range of contexts in which planning takes place, from the legislatively mandated (currently the case in the United Kingdom) to the predominately voluntary (as in the United States). There are also many ways of going about planning, many stumbling blocks between good intentions and effective policies, and many a well-considered and viable policy that goes unimplemented. Challenges for e-culture are visible with regard to fragmentation, multilingualism, re-usability if content, configuration of knowledge realms and suitable application levels that effectively relate to users' and heritage institutions' demands It is also introducing three investigations accomplished by thesis writer as well by State Institutions in a field of Cultural innovations and reclaims of Culture Users. This dissertation of graduation is useful for Culture managers, Official Persons who are responsible for dissemination of digital code an e-culture, for people who make political decisions on Culture Politics. It is useful for students of arts management or those who hope to work in the cultural industries.
