"We, the Nation of Lithuania"-Uncovering the Values of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania's Political Culture --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aThe focus of this book is the unique socio-political and socio-cultural community of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the golden age of the late fifteenth to early seventeenth century. This study analyses the cultural and political impact of the values disseminated in the newly created state, such as the concept of the state itself, its governance, representation, laws, and other elements of the socio-political system.Through theoretical and factographic arguments, this book demonstrates that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a social, political, and cultural link between geopolitical and geo-cultural spaces of the Roman West and the Byzantine East. Located at the cultural crossroads of Europe, Lithuania was an ethnically diverse, multilingual, multi-faith, multicultural national space. Nurtured by international contacts, its political system developed rapidly, influencing the formation of geopolitical and geo-cultural mentality of the whole Central Eastern European region. 606 $aPolitical culture$zLithuania$xHistory 607 $aLithuania$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aLithuania$xHistory$y1569-1795 607 $aLithuania$xPolitics and government 610 $aBaltic. 610 $aEastern Europe. 610 $aPoland and Lithuania. 610 $aPoland. 610 $aThe Grand Duchy of Lithuania. 610 $aculture of parliamentarism. 610 $adevelopment of Lithuania. 610 $adynasty. 610 $aearly new ages. 610 $alandscape of political culture. 610 $aunion. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 676 $a947.93 700 $aKiaupien?$b J?rat?$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01537160 702 $aWill$b Jayde Thomas 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795255203321 996 $aBetween Rome and Byzantium$93786293 997 $aUNINA
