The Lithuanian deterrence strategy is about making use of military threats to prevent other actors from taking particular actions. There are two major components that determine the success or failure of the Lithuanian deterrence strategy: the military's capabilities to carry out its threat against potential aggressors, and the will to do so. Special attention in this article will be given to the effectiveness of extended deterrence. It provides estimation on the sufficiency of Lithuanian capabilities to provide effective deterrence and recommends a potential direction for their use to strengthen deterrence. This article will discern current Lithuanian deterrence potential and possibilities to improve it using military, economic, as well as political means and other measures.

The object of the study is: strategy formation in Kaunas tourism organizations. The aim of the study: to ascertain specific peculiarities of strategy formation in Kaunas tourism organizations. The tasks of the study: 1. To determine strategy conception and significance for the efficiency of the enterprise activity. 2. To except characteristic strategy creation and realization processes for strategy schools. 3. To except factors determining enterprises strategy formation and except the most important for the tourism enterprises. 4. To prepare tourism enterprise strategy model. 5. To sort out what determines strategy formation specific features in travel agencies. Results: 1. Strategy is deliberate and long lasting development direction of the organization, which creates possibilities for the organization to realize its aims and is based referring to its activity spheres and forms, internal resources and position in external environment. Tourism strategy must be formed taking into consideration state and regional tourism strategy. Furthermore it is very important to choose suitable strategy for the concrete enterprise. 2. The choice of strategy schools and strategy formation depends on the environmental changes, competition, individual experience of the leader, potential of the organization, organization culture and size, government and political power. Creation of strategy and realization processes can be various, strictly structurized or chosen from a lot of alternatives. 3. Creating tourism enterprise strategy and realizing it, the biggest attention must be paid to the consumer's service quality assurance, consumer, innovations and the strategic position strengthening. 4. Prepared tourism enterprise strategy model shows mutual relations between state, regional and enterprise strategies, also determines the most important strategy formation factors for the tourism organizations. 5. The research showed that in investigated travel agencies dominate configuration school, which doesn't outline strictly rules for the ...

Every country has an aim to ensure security and well-being for its citizens. Today such traditional tools as economical, foreign policies and army are not so effective any more. Globalization and global warming are some of the causes for governments to look for new effective methods of strategic governing. This is where the term of country's image appears. The aim of this work is to present, discuss and rate the main models of country's image formation and after adapting such theoretical knowledge in practice define a resumptive model of country's image formation. For the reach of this aim I have defined such smaller tasks: a) Understand the essence of country's image and main parts of its formation; b) Define the stages which every country passes through while forming an image; c) Review the main model of country image formation; d) Create a resumptive model for Lithuania's image formation; e) Give recommendations for realization of resumptive model according to results of conducted secondary research. While seeking for the aim and its tasks I have analyzed the material of Lithuanian Government Project of Lithuania's image formation strategy. The models examined included those of Kennedy (1977), Dowling (1986), Abratt (1989), Ind (1997) and Stuart (1998). Practical use of this paper is a deeper understanding about the process of country image formation and ability to adapt research data to theoretical model. In conclusion resumptive model of Lithuania's image formation strategy is described and recommendations for it practical realization are given.

The paper aims at analysing the macroeconomic effects of the Europe 2020 Strategy taking into account economic growth theories. The research problem relates to defining differences how various EU policies, materializing themselves through statistical indicators, impact the EU economic growth as well as how different EU member states are regarding the implementation of Europe 2020. It consists of 3 interrelated parts. The first one presents the analysis frame work, i.e. describes the theories of economic growth and methods, such as correlation analysis and cluster analysis, and a data set, i.e. GDP indicators, Europe 2020, macroeconomic imbalances, fiscal indicators and the innovation index. The second part analyses the results of correlation analysis between GDP growth rates and GDP per capita as a dependant variable and 17 other indicators. On the EU level the level of innovations, energy efficiency, current account balance and expenditures for R&D over 2000-2010 ha the strongest impact on economic growth with the correlation coefficient above 0.7. The third part presents the results of cluster analysis. The EU member states are quite different regarding the Europe 2020 indicators, thus 5 identical clusters were obtained, such as the power of Europe, Scandinavian excellence, the Southern path, the middle class Europe, the poverty Europe.

The main aim of this work is to determine what problems of realization the academic community perceives. The system of realization trends was projected in the state education strategy enacted on the 4th of July in 2003 by Parliament. It is paid attention to the calibre, the management culture and the opportunity to learn all the life. There are five the realization trends of state education strategy: the management, the infrastructure, the support, the content and the personnel. The analysis of the research shows that the finance of higher education, the modernization of teaching, the present learning load of students which belongs to the implementation of information technology are the main trends of state education strategy. The finances of a state will be introduced in 2009 which will offset the best part expenses of students learning. The educational institution should have to help persons to gain the qualification which should meet the requirements of these days and satisfy modern technology.
