Lithuanian Foreign Policy Review
Added2019.01.10
Foreign policy and diplomacy »
Lithuanian Foreign Policy Review (LFPR) – the academic journal was established twenty years ago, in 1998, to discuss the challenges facing Lithuanian foreign policy. Gradually, it moved towards covering the security and foreign policy issues of the countries in Central and Eastern Europe, before expanding again to address the geopolitical and security problems of the entire region. With almost 40 volumes, it has become a well-known platform for debate on these issues. Now, LFPR turns a new leaf by becoming an analytical, rather than an academic, annual publication.
