The recent migration studies pay relatively more attention to the formation of migrant organizations abroad, migrants’ ties with the homeland, and host countries’ social and political influence on the features of migrant associations. However, the studies, which present the historical development of diaspora and migrant organizations in the world, have significant impact. The collapse of the Soviet Union influenced scholars to study migration, because researchers of the Baltic and East Central European states could now easily analyze this issue. Secondly, the diaspora activity of migrants from those countries prompted the investigation of diaspora organizations over the world. After the Second World War refugees to the Western countries declared very clearly their willingness to fight for the independence of their countries. After the former Soviet states declared their independence in the 1990s the activity of such ethnic groups became the object for researches in the host lands, as well as in the countries of origin. The studies of emigrant associations and formations of emigrant community abroad are very important in the present context of Lithuania, because of the increased social development of émigré organizational life in the receiving countries. Furthermore, such social changes also motivate scholars to analyse the development of migrant organizations in the world in historical perspective. One of the most important émigré organisations is the Lithuanian World Community (LWC, or PLB (Pasaulio lietuvių bendruomenė), in its Lithuanian acronym), which was established by political refugees with the goal of uniting all the dispersed Lithuanians over the world. After Lithuania declared independence, the Lithuanian World Community continued its activity in the world, establishing new Lithuanian communities. For this purpose, it is important to analyze the formation and development of this organization and organizational features of Lithuanian émigrés, as well as the lessons of a diasporic citizenship. After the Second World War political motives were essential in mobilizing émigrés, so the organizational and political aspects, in connection with other closely related problems, are analyzed in this dissertation. 5 Chronological boundaries of the work. The earliest margin represents the period of DP camps, when VLIK (The Supreme Committee for the Liberation of Lithuania, or Vyriausiasis Lietuvos išlaisvinimo komitetas VLIK’as in Lithuanian) analyzed the problem of Lithuanian dispersal in the world and the Lithuanian World Community was established. On June 14, 1949 the Lithuanian Charta and temporary constitution of the organization were adopted. According to these documents, Lithuanian communities were organized in several countries. The discussion about the representation of Lithuanian émigré community among the main organizations (Lithuanian World Community, Lithuanian American Council, VLIK) continued until the late 1970s. It influenced the delayed formation of the Lithuanian World Community. By the late 1970s the main organizations decided not to restructure their organizational principles and continued their activities independently, according to their chief aims and methods. This agreement influenced the organizational features of the Lithuanian émigré community and the stable organizational forms of the Lithuanian World Community. Therefore, the chronological boundaries of the present work comprise the first stage of the development of the Lithuanian World Community. However, the idea of a worldwide Lithuanian organization emerged in the First Republic of Lithuania (1918–1940). For this reason work analyzes the mobilisation of Lithuanian during this period. In the first place the idea of establishing a colony to consolidate Lithuanians abroad is researched. However, the main attention is focused on describing the origins of the idea of the Lithuanian World Community, so the organizations Draugijos užsienio lietuviams remti and Pasaulio lietuvių sąjunga, their purpose and main tasks are examined. Object of research: The Lithuanian World Community in the 1940s – 1970s. Aim of work: Reconstruct the organizational and political development aspects of the Lithuanian World Community in the 1940s – 1970s. Principal tasks of work Review the mobilization ideas of the dispersed Lithuanians in the world; analyze the basic activity and organizational features of the Draugijos užsienio lietuviams remti and Pasaulio Lietuvių Sąjunga associations. Describe the organizational aspects of Lietuvių tremtinių bendruomenė, reconstruct the establishment of the Lithuanian World Community, present the 6 main organizational motives and principles, and reveal the attitudes of the VLIK and Lithuanian American Council towards the Lithuanian World Community. Analyze conditions and features of establishing Lithuanian communities in the world, explore the WLC head institution, and describe the cooperation among the Lithuanian World Community board and Lithuanian communities over the world. Explore the Lithuanian World Community’s role in mobilizing Lithuanian youth in the world and the impact of the organized second generation on Lithuanian community institutions; describe the development of the relationship between the Lithuanian World Community and the World Lithuanian Youth Association. Reconstruct the position and activities of the Lithuanian World Community in the political organization of the Lithuanian émigré community, analyze the issue of the émigré representation problem between the main organization the Lithuanian World Community and VLIK; to describe the attitude of the Lithuanian World Community towards the question of communication with occupied Lithuania and the question’s influence on the organizational changes and facets of political activity of the Lithuanian World Community. Describe the relationship

  • Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960
    Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960 Jonathan H. L’Hommedieu A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Turku in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Social Sciences in the Department of Contemporary History Turku 2011 Serial: Humaniora B 338 ISBN 978-951-29-4811-6 ISSN 0082-6987 Abstract Jonathan H. L’Hommedieu: Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960 This dissertation explores the complicated relations between Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian postwar refugees and American foreign policymakers between 1948 and 1960. There were seemingly shared interests between the parties during the first decade of the Cold War. Generally, Eastern European refugees refused to recognize Soviet hegemony in their homelands, and American policy towards the Soviet bloc during the Truman and Eisenhower administrations sought to undermine the Kremlin’s standing in the region. More specifically, Baltic refugees and State Department officials sought to preserve the 1940 non-recognition policy towards the Soviet annexation of the Baltic States. I propose that despite the seemingly natural convergence of interests, the American experiment of constructing a State-Private network revolving around fostering relations with exile groups was fraught with difficulties. These difficulties ultimately undermined any ability that the United States might have had to liberate the Baltic States from the Soviet Union. As this dissertation demonstrates, Baltic exiles were primarily concerned with preserving a high level of political continuity to the interwar republics under the assumption that they would be able to regain their positions in liberated, democratic societies.

  • Gentlemen's Agreement
    “GENTLEMEN’S AGREEMENT” OF LITHUANIA AND THE USSR Algimantas Kasparavièius As far as we were able to determine the term “gentlemen agreement” was first used in international practice at the beginning of this century. In 1907 the USA and Japan gave this name to the international agreement according to which Japan assumed the responsibility of not giving passports to immigrants to the USA (except for some categories of businessmen and specialists), while the President of the United States on his part promised to endeavor that San Francisco abolish the discriminatory prohibition of Japanese children being taught together with whites.1 In later years the “gentlemen agreement” began to be used more broadly in diplomacy. Its importance and meaning was discussed in historiography and international law. In the tradition of Western international law a “gentlemen agreement” is usually understood to be a verbal act, not recognized as a juridical act. According to it, such an agreement of diplomats or politicians “recognizes only a concurrence of the wills of the agreeing states,” but does not entail any juridical consequences.2 In fact, in the period between the world wars there were instances when the League of Nations Commission for Legal Affairs or the International Court, taking note of the circumstances of the formation of unsigned agreements as well as their importance recognized their juridical effect or consequences.3 The lawyers, diplomats, and historians of the Soviet school interpret the “gentlemen agreement” in a different way. According to them, the “gentlemen agreement” is a special kind of informal international agreement, of a simplified manner, based upon the special mutual trust of the states, having the same juridical validity as signed treaties.4 According to Soviet tradition the “gentlemen agreement” can be verbal or written, but does not have the ”usual text of a treaty.” Thus, the difference between the traditional Western and Soviet “gentlemen agreement” is sufficiently clear.
