Lithuania: Economy, Politics and Government

Abstract:
Energy continued to play a central role in Lithuania's foreign and domestic policy in 2001, as well as in its economy and the government has struggled to liberate it from Russia's so-called energy empire'. Lack of large-scale restructuring and a continuing dependence on Russia made economic growth more muted than that in some of the neighbouring Baltic countries.
