In 1990, the tiny Soviet Republic of Lithuania declared independence and began restoring the mechanisms of independent government and democracy that had been suppressed by its Soviet invaders for half a century. Lithuania examines the first years of this rebirth in the face of the legacy of the Soviet occupation. In addition to chronicling the lively chain of events leading to and stemming from the declaration of independence, Alexandra Ashbourne studies the essential components of rebirth: the creation of domestic, foreign, and security policies and the revitalization of an independent economy. Drawing from the personal testimony of Lithuanians closely connected to these events, Ashbourne appraises Lithuania's attempts to rejoin the international community and acquire an effective security guarantee. She concludes that the damage caused by fifty years of Soviet domination created obstacles to the process of rebirth, obstacles that are proving difficult and even impossible to overcome. Readers of Lithuania will find its discussions applicable to most former Soviet republics and Eastern Bloc states. The book will be invaluable to students and scholars of Lithuania, Soviet history, and international political policy.

"The Holistic Pine is India's first independent international monthly lifestyle journal " Sanskar News Authenticity, Brevity, and Clarity We experience information overload, the moment we search something online, especially when this search is regarding courses and careers. What guarantee do we have that the information we receive online is genuine or not? How many hours should we dedicate to sift through the data available? How could we identify the authenticity of information? Instead of spending hours and hours of time and energy, The Holistic Pine is making it easier for the reader to get authentic information within a short period of time. This is one of the reasons educational insitutions are moving massively towards The Holistic Pine, where you get Authenticity, Brevity, and Clarity. There is still another reason. Most academic journals subscribed by college/school libraries do not create readers out of students. Most students avoid them. However, The Holistic Pine is unique in its appeal. That's where The Holistic Pine becomes different. It has created a bridge between the magazine culture and journal culture, offering in each issue a highly stylised reading material that attracts students and scholars. The Holistic Pine, thus, becomes an academic asset in educational institutions, scholars, UPSC, PSC, and Civil Service or IAS aspirants, and general readers.

This book focuses upon the relationship between religion and socio-cultural or socio-political aspects in the history of religions in Japan. Religious and ideological justifications in the course of forming a political and national identity, and the mutual relation between political, national and cultural issues can be noticed in every region of the world before the onset of secularization processes, but also in modern nation-states today. In Japan as well, just like in most modern societies, political, cultural and religious elements are closely interrelated. In a comparative approach the sixteen papers in this volume elucidate the intellectual undercurrent in Japanese history of putting positive perspectives on national achievements and cultural-religious uniqueness into service of establishing and refurbishing a national identity.
