CIVIL society , *LEGISLATION , *CORPORATE state , *SOCIAL contract - Abstract
The paper deals with mutual conditionality of existence between the civil society and legal state. The paper is based on the 1918-1940 doctrine of independent Lithuania, the models of the legal state and the tentative models of the civil society created at that time. In the first part of the article, the concept of the legal state is discussed. In, terms of creation of the model of the legal state, M. Romeris works are of exceptional importance. It his works, M. Romeris related the legal state in essence with the legal, procedural system for ensuring the lawfulness. On the basis of works of European scholars of the 19th-20th centuries, M. Romeris conducted a critical analysis of the legal state and elucidated its most significant traits. It is notable that M. Romeris was able to make a correct insight into the strategy of advancing towards the legal state. In the second part of the article, a model of the created civil society created at the time is studied on the basis of the works of M. Romeris and A. Maceina. In implementing the provisions of the legal state, the formation of an active civil society became a necessity. M. Romeris presented its model, not arguing for the national society but focusing on the implementation of the institutions and principles of democracy. In such society, the state cooperation of national groups should be established, where the Lithuanian nation as the majority of the population should have the status of the master: the nation of the majority allows other national minorities into the organization of the state. A conclusion follows from M. Romeris' studies: active civil society is necessary for real implementation of the legal state model; on the other hand, the existence of the legal sate guarantees the development of the civil society. Nevertheless, in the third decade of the 20th century, the model of civil society under formation experienced a negative transformation when the idea of corporativism has been entrenched in the social thought. The paper establishes that the mutual conditionality of existence between the legal state and civil society in essence had been established, whereas the political changes that occurred in the country in the third decade of the 20th century had negative consequences on the formation of civil society and simultaneously became an obstacle in implementing the idea of the legal state in practice.

- Abstract
The article presents the legal regulation of associations in the Lithuanian governorates of the Russian Empire after the adoption of the Temporary Rules on Societies and Unions of 4 March 1906 and the relations of Lithuanian associations with the tsarist administration. It analyses the policies and attitudes of the local governors towards associations and how they relate to national and ideological issues. Despite the obstacles that Lithuanian associations faced from the authorities, the number of organisations in Lithuania grew rapidly between 1906 and 1915. The whole period had significant consequences for the development of Lithuanian civil society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

STATE capture , *CIVIL society , *BUSINESS enterprises - Abstract
The concept of state capture, which is widely used when speaking about corruption in transitional democracies, defines illegitimate and non-transparent influence on state policy development. Though widely-spread in Lithuania, this phenomenon still has not been studied thoroughly by Lithuanian scholars. The phenomenon of state capture in Lithuania is analyzed in this article emphasizing three main aspects: its' prevalence, forms and reasons. After the short introduction on state capture the authors analyze this phenomenon using the Lithuanian case study, which is based on the analyses of legal acts, other surveys, scientific papers, and the interview with representatives of the Transparency International Lithuanian Chapter. The analysis showed that level of state capture in Lithuania decreased during the period of 1999 - 2002 but increased in 2005; however, there are not enough data to confirm the latter conclusion. Institutions mostly affected by state capture are legislative (Seimas), executive (Government), judicial and political parties. Business enterprises, separate individuals and foreign countries (especially Russia) sought to influence the formation of public policy in corrupt ways in Lithuania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SOCIAL policy , *ENDOWMENTS , *CIVIL society , *PUBLIC welfare policy , *QUALITATIVE research - Abstract
Social policy and philanthropy are often considered as the two faces of the coin. Many of welfare and civil society theorists view philanthropy as an expression of state welfare policy, or on the contrary, it appears when state social policy is rather weak. It is assumed that a strong role of the state in social policy results in decline of philanthropic initiatives. The paper discusses the issues of philanthropy situation in Lithuania, the role of the state in social policy, and the post-communist welfare model. The study is based on the results of a quantitative and qualitative research that offer some challenging findings. The analysis reveals the conflict among state social policy, philanthropic actors' attitudes and expectations of the society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[toliau žr. visą tekstą] Following the enlargement in 2004 and 2007, the European Union (EU) has been made of Western states of old democracy, as well as of post-communist countries of the Central and East Europe (CCEE), the latter counting less than two decades of democratic development. These two parts of Europe differ significantly with regard to the historical and political experience, cultural traditions, the level of economic and social development. The EU, however, functions as an integrated political and economic community. The key sign of the EU integration is the decision-making at the EU level. Decisions are taken after consultation with the member states, as well as with civil society. The topic of the research has been inspired by the EU governance reform which designates a greater role to consultations with civil society in the decision-making at the EU level. The Turin European Council in 1996 provided the Intergovernmental Conference negotiating the Treaty of Amsterdam with the mandate “to bring the EU closer to its citizens”. The guidelines of the European governance reform were presented in the European Commission’s White Paper “European Governance” in 2001 . The White Paper provided for a significant role of civil society. The research has been conducted during PhD studies at Mykolas Romeris University (Vilnius, Lithuania) and while participating in two PhD networks of the Network of Excellence CONNEX (“Connecting Excellence on European Governance”), a project funded by the EU...

Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos atvirosios visuomenės ir jos teisinio identiteto tyrimo metodologinės prieigos. Dažniausiai atvirosios visuomenės samprata grindžiama K. R. Popperio išplėtotu požiūriu, kuris apibrėžė, tikėtina, vis labiau depersonifikuotos visuomenės raidą. Jos plėtimasis – tai mąstymas į plotį. Dėl mąstymo į plotį be jį atitinkančio mąstymo gylio Vakarų civilizacija yra pakliuvusi į egzistencinę krizę (P. Aleksandravičius). Tai patvirtina IT raidos raiškos formos. Todėl vėl prisiminta H. Bergsono atvirosios visuomenės samprata, kurios pagrindinis principas – brolybė. Pilietinė visuomenė intuityviu lygiu kuriasi ir veikia šio principo pagrindu. Todėl atvirosios visuomenės teisinio identiteto tyrimo metodologiniai iššūkiai yra susieti suminėtų sampratų pasirinkimu. This paper examines methodological approaches to the study of open society and its legal identity. Mostly, the concept of open society is based on the approach developed by K. R. Popper, who defined the likely development of an increasingly depersonalized society. Its expansion involves thinking on breadth. Because of breadth of thinking without the corresponding depth of thinking, Western civilization is in an existential crisis (P. Aleksandravičius). This is evidenced by the evolutionary forms of IT development. Hence Bergson’s concept of open society, based on the principle of fraternity, is again recalled. Civil society develops and operates on an intuitive basis, based on this principle. Therefore, the methodological challenges of studying the legal identity of an open society are linked to the choice between the two concepts. An analysis of the functionality of the common civilizational foundations of the legal identity of an open society was conducted. This functionality was demonstrated to weaken (1) the idea of common rules of conduct, (2) the rule of law, and (3) the idea of institutional and legal protection of human rights and freedoms. In researching the functionality of these ideas, it is more appropriate to refer to H. Bergson’s concept of open society than to K. R. Poper’s concept.

Pilietinis dalyvavimas ir aktyvus piliečių įsitraukimas į valstybės politinį gyvenimą įvairiomis pilietinio dalyvavimo formomis yra neatskiriama tvaraus valdymo ir darnaus vystymosi dalis. Valstybėse vykdomi regionų plėtros projektai vis dažniau grindžiami darnaus vystymosi principais, ir vienas iš pagrindinių veiksnių – piliečių dalyvavimo skatinimas ir dalyvavimo formų priemonių užtikrinimas. Todėl vis daugiau dėmesio skiriama internetui ir naujosioms medijoms, kurios leidžia piliečiams lengviau bendradarbiauti, savo nuomonę svarbiais visuomeniniais klausimais pasakyti iniciatyvų internetinėje erdvėje būdu. Išpopuliarėjus socialinių tinklų svetainėms, medijoms tapus lengviau prieinamoms kiekvienam piliečiui, pasaulyje ėmė daugėti pilietinių iniciatyvų, kurios kartais peraugdavo į pilietinius judėjimus ar net revoliucijas. Straipsnyje remiantis socialinių tinklų, viešosios erdvės teorijomis siekiama nustatyti, kokią įtaką internetas ir naujosios medijos daro aplinkosaugos problemų sprendimui pilietiniu lygmeniu.Reikšminiai žodžiai: aplinkosauga, pilietinės iniciatyvos, naujosios medijos, socialiniai tinklai, viešoji erdvė, internetas, socialinių tinklų svetainės.Environmental Initiatives and Movements in the Context of new Media’s PossibilitiesIndrė Petrauskaitė SummaryCivic engagement and active involvement in the political life of the various forms of participation is an integral part of sustainable government and sustainable development.

Originalios idėjos bei unikalus mąstymas, ko gero, yra vertingiausias šių laikų turtas. Norisi daryti prielaidą, kad labiausiai gerbiami ir vertinami turėtų būti tie žmonės, kurie geba pasiūlyti daugiausia originalių, dėmesio vertų idėjų. Tačiau diskusijose apie viešojo gėrio kūrimą ar jo apsaugojimą ir kreipiantis į verslininkus su prašymu paaukoti bendram reikalui, neretai galima išgirsti atsakymą, jog pinigai daug kainuoja. Pinigai tarsi įgauna pridėtinę vertę, ne tik įgalina veiksmą, bet ir tampa jo pagrindu. Sociologinėje tradicijoje laikomasi požiūrio, kad laikas visuomenėje yra pasiskirstęs vienodžiau nei pinigai, todėl, kalbant apie viešojo gėrio atstovavimą, prioritetą reiktų teikti dalyvavimui, kuris pasižymi asmens skiriamu laiku, o ne pinigais. Visuomenininkai linkę paaukoti savo laiką, darbą ir garbę už nuopelnus, kad tik viešosios dorybės būtų apgintos. Tad kaip yra su anksčiau išsakyta ir, regis, nekvestionuojama mintimi, kad brangiausiai kainuoja idėjos? Ar tikrai rūpinimasis viešuoju gėriu dažnai prilyginamas savotiškam heroizmui ir tai skatina pilietiškumo raišką? Ar tikrai rūpinimasis viešaisiais reikalais gali atnešti garbę ir pripažinimą? Pagrindinis šio straipsnio tikslas – ištirti, kiek „kainuoja“ rūpinimasis viešuoju gėriu ir su kokiais trukdžiais bei iššūkiais susiduria pilietinei veiklai angažuoti visuomenininkai. Tikslo bus siekiama remiantis pripažintų užsienio ir Lietuvos autorių įžvalgomis, nagrinėjant dvi gerai žinomas Vilniaus ir Kauno kino teatrų gynimo pilietines bylas. Original ideas and unique thinking are perhaps the most valuable assets nowadays. We would like to assume that those people who are able to offer many original and noteworthy ideas should be most respected and appreciated. However, at the discussion about the creation of public good or its protection and having addressed entrepreneurs with a request to donate for the common good, we often hear an answer that money is expensive. Money as if acquires added value and not only enables action, but also becomes the basis for action. Sociological tradition holds a viewpoint that time is distributed in society more evenly than money; therefore, concerning representation of public good, priority should be given to participation that could be characterised by the time spared by a person rather than money. Public activists tend to sacrifice their time, work and honour for merits, in order to protect public values. So what about the aforementioned seemingly undisputed thought that ideas are most expensive? Is really the caring of public good often compared to kind of heroism and this promotes the expression of citizenship? May really the caring of public affairs bring honour and recognition? The main aim of the paper is to investigate how much the caring of public good “costs” and what obstacles and challenges the public activists engaged in civil activities face. The aim will be sought through the reference to the insights of recognised Lithuanian and foreign authors and the analysis of two well-known civil cases of defending Vilnius and Kaunas cinema theatres.

The goal of the paper is to present the development of social work studies in Vilnius University. According to authors, there are nine groups of variables for study program. There has to be a theoretical basis for a certain study program. There is no unified theoretical framework in social work and that is a problem for social work. The second condition is an existence of study program. The peculiarities of labour market for social workers imposed two different ways to organise social work study. The first one was a study program for the re-skilling workers of social care institutions. The other, was an ordinary study program. There cannot be a study program without academic stuff. The members of social work department were academics from related disciplines (psychology, education, economics and so on) in the beginning. Latter the grown ups academics joined the department. Other agencies organise social work study programs, also. In some cases, it is competition in other – cooperation. The social work study program is organised in different ways and there is a discussion about which way has to choose Lithuania. The sixth dimension is the demand for the study program. The demand is reflected by the employment of graduates. The study process primary depends on academic staff, but physical and technological conditions are also important. The university is connected with other agents in the field – social work schools, public sector organisations, civil society and research agencies. If the goal of organisation is to remain in the field, it has to react to feedback from students, employees and social partners.
