At the start of the 20th 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. The volume 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 small country was caught at the intersection of Europe's great powers, and how it was compelled to follow a foreign policy of survival. Among the topics outlined are the development of a Lithuanian economy, the crucial role of land reform, and the effect of foreign domination - and of statehood - on a national culture. An enlightening work from Lithuania's own ambassadors to the States, Lithuania in European Politics explains why the restoration of a Lithuanian state in 1990 cannot be understood without comprehending those critical years between the two World Wars.
