Civil-military relations in Lithuania have serious deficiencies, which have appeared because of the simulation of a recommended Western model of civilian control. After regaining Independence, Lithuania had the difficult task of creating its armed forces and system of national defence following the Western model. At the same time we had to implement two political programs: to create functio-ning armed forces and a institutional-legal system of democratic civil-military control. However, this control is not only proper laws and functioning institutions. Equally, an important role must be given to intellectual reflection, which enables the posing of questions such as: what is war; how is the character of war changing; how does this affect Lithuanian defence policies and the perception of threats? Raising such questions inside the armed forces and in wider political and civil society is an essential condition for having effective and flexible civilian control over the military.

Although intellectual property value can be very high, due to the inflexibility of the banking sector, financing based on the pledge of intellectual property rights is underdeveloped in almost all countries of the world due to understandable creditors need to avoid the risks. For this reason, the aim of this work is to identify and investigate the problems associated with the pledge of intellectual property rights and to examine the possibilities of pledging different intellectual property rights. First chapter analyses different objects of intellectual property rights (plant variates, copyright and related rights, designs, tradenames, trade secrets, patents and trademarks) that can be the object of a pledge. Issues that may arise in order to pledge these objects, as well as, national and international protection and their compatibility with property law are discussed. Also, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the General Court of the European Union and the Supreme Court of Lithuania related to intellectual property rights and pledge issues are discussed. Second chapter reviews the main methods of assessing the value of intellectual property rights used in practice, such as qualitative and quantitative valuations, their methods and how they could be applied in practice to pledge intellectual property rights. Third chapter, discusses the end of the pledge of intellectual property rights and the basics of realization of pledged intellectual property rights. Issues of applicable law related to international agreements on the pledge of intellectual property rights are also discussed.

High value of intellectual capital is believed to be source of innovation-based competitive advantage, which is main factor of business and whole economy growth. However, the link between national intellectual capital and economic growth remains the object of scientific discussions. The purpose of this dissertation is upon examination of the theoretical approaches to the national intellectual capital and designing the intellectual capital measurement model, to determine the intellectual capital value in the European Union countries, and its impact on economic growth. The dissertation fleshed out national intellectual capital concept and structural model, as well as summarized studies of national intellectual capital influence on economic growth. The national intellectual capital measurement model was proposed based on postulates of national intellectual capital theoretical model and analysis of its measurement models.
