Šis straipsnis - tai vienas iš nedaugelio bandymų konceptualiai pažvelgti į Lietuvos socialinę politiką ir socialinę apsaugą. Jis skiriamas Lietuvos socialinės politikos modeliui apibrėžti. Straipsnyje galima rasti atsakymą į klausimą, kodėl Lietuvoje buvo atsisakyta skandinaviško tipo universalumo principais besiremiančio socialinės apsaugos modelio kūrimo.
This article represents one of the few attempts to conceptualise Lithuania's social policy and social care. It aims to define Lithuania's social policy model. In this article one may find an answer to the question why Lithuania rejected the option of creating the Scandinavian-type of social security model based on the principles of universality. This article has been divided in the following chapters: 1) The role of modelling in social sciences; 2) East European social policy model; 3) Lithuania's social policy model. The meaning of modelling in today's social sciences has been underestimated so far, - it is said. Despite the intensified processes of globalisation, cultural nivelation and the impact of the cultural relativism, it is difficult to expect that social sciences will stand aside from the opportunities provided by the traditional modelling. However, the information society age presents us with a new challenge, - we have to look for the new methods of modelling. The modelling of the social policy and social administration is known for its original material that demands specific "processing". As far as the methodology of social administration is concerned, it is to a large extent underanalysed.
