Abstract

Lithuania’s Identity was linked with the Soviet Union when it exists in the Political map before 1991. In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became an independent country. After independence, Lithuania’s politics has been described as a search for identity in the literature of international relations. To understand the Lithuania’s foreign policy course linked to thrust for a new identity in the world politics, there is a need of a delineation of national identity that is intrinsically connected with different conceptions about sovereignty and statehood. The nation (a people) is seen as the source of sovereignty which that state in turn is founded on.
