Lithuanian Eastern Policy 2004–2014: The Role Theory Approach

Summary/Abstract: The article seeks to analyse Lithuanian Eastern policy in the period of 2004–2014. As role theory is used as a theoretical approach, the decade is divided into two parts in accordance to presidential terms: 2004–2009, the second term of Valdas Adamkus and 2009–2014, the first term of Dalia Grybauskaitė. This article aims to identify both the main characteristics of Adamkus and Grybauskaitė by analysing their personal national role conceptions on Lithuanian Eastern policy and by seeking the dynamic of change that depends on other role theory dimensions – structural factors and actual role performance.
