| Abstract [eng] |
At the beginning of the research work the hypothesize was: the communication policy (strategy) of Lithuania is made and running targeted according to all the theoretical assumptions of this topic, but it is not enough effective what could be determined by the fact that foreign Lithuanian’s comments and opinions were not listened on the development and execution of long-term strategy, which could make this communication more effective. According to the hypothesis the object of the work was set as – the problems of Lithuanian communication policy with foreign Lithuanians. The aim is to reveal the problems which are the barriers for effective results. And to see how official representatives of foreign Lithuanians are suggesting to solve the problems. To achieve the goals in this work the following tasks were made: * to clarify the Lithuanian main causes of migration, which explains the theory of international migration; * to examine Lithuanian communication policy set as international communications policy-based coordination; * to find out what kind of problems make the effectiveness of the policy lower, while asking the opinion of Lithuanian community members, as the foreign Lithuanians official representatives, and also to ask them what kind of solutions they offer to make the communication more effective. This work is dealing with theoretical material related to migration and Lithuanian international communication with foreign Lithuanians. The migration phenomenon is analyzed and adapted to issue the theoretical assumptions in order to clarify the major Lithuanian reasons for migration. The theoretical assumptions of international communication are analyzed so it would be demonstrated the basis of the Lithuanian and foreign Lithuanians communication policy (strategy) and to see if it fits by all the norms of creation and running of the strategy as the international communication related cooperation. The last part of the work aimed to clarify the foreign Lithuanians community representative’s thoughts of the existing communication policy and their thoughts of what should be done to make it more effective. After all the examination was made the conclusion was made the following: the hypothesis that was made at the beginning of the work is partially confirmed – from the theoretical parts of work we can see that the strategy is deliberately set up and operate in accordance with all applicable rules of international communication. However, it is not effective, what leads, according to the foreign Lithuanians representatives, the perfunctory manners of foreign Lithuanians about this policy and also some funding issues. This conclusion makes the proposal for future to keep researching this sphere, so it could help to improve the policy in the future and create the Global Lithuania with its population all over the world. |
