ENThe edited volume further focuses on the close neighbours of Lithuania – Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states. Attention is paid to the cooperation between Lithuania and the aforementioned neighbours. Finally, chapters of the volume analyse evolution of Lithuanian defence policy, its commitments to the international community and the ways Lithuania could advance its security and defence interests via communities of experts and think tanks. The core idea of this edited volume is to disclose how processes on different levels affect the security environment (military security for the most part) of Lithuania, thus creating security and foreign policy dilemmas in a less predictable world. In the edited volume, one can see how global changes translate to regional, sub-regional and national levels that define the environment of Lithuanian security and national defence, forcing one to search how to deal with remaining and emerging dilemmas. The edited volume has the following objectives: 1. To identify major changes at the global, regional, sub-regional and national levels for Lithuanian security and defence; 2. To reveal the evolution of processes affecting the security and defence of Lithuania at the global, regional, sub-regional and national levels; 3. To define the emerging security and defence policy dilemmas for Lithuania; 4. To suggest policies to ensure Lithuania’s security and defence in the rapidly-changing international environment.
