Title: Lithuania in European politics
First published: 1998
Description: At the start of the twentieth century, the term "Lithuanian" referred to a language in a region where there had once been a medieval state, but few people thought that this was of any relevance to the general affairs of Europe. Now, at the close of this century, the identity of Lithuania as its own nation stands well established, after many years of war and foreign domination.

Lithuania in European Politics illustrates the way in which Lithuanian national consciousness grew from a shared feeling of unstructured instincts to a firm sense of nationhood in the course of this century. The authors reveal how this tiny country was caught at the intersection of Europe's great powers, and how it was compelled to follow a foreign policy of survival.
