Summary/Abstract: The article aims to empirically investigate the impact of Lithuanian energy security policy on the social cohesion. This article is based on Jenson (1998) and Bernard (1999) researches and proposed analytical categories. The conceptual framework identifies specific – economic, political and socio-cultural – activity areas, which are analyzed to verify the dichotomies between public attitudes and actual behaviour of society. These dichotomies help to distinguish empirical dimensions, which allow to describe the impact of Lithuanian energy security policy on the social cohesion in quantitative data.
