The article discusses the problem of prevention of radicalisation in religious schools in Europe. In this publication the authors of the publication aim to present a systematic analysis of the legal framework of religious education and its relationship and limitations in the aim to prevent radicalization. In order to achieve the aim of the research the following tasks will be carried out: revealing of the essence of the freedom of right of thought, religion and conscience and their relation to religious education; analysing documents, strategies and policies addressing the prevention of radicalization in Europe; evaluating the intersection of right to religious education and the need to prevent radicalisation. The question is relevant due to the ever-increasing number of terrorist acts performed by persons who have been born in European states (so called home-grown terrorists). The publication discusses the right to religion and the right to religious education and its limitations. The development of EU policy in the field of counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation is extensively discussed. Finally, the guidelines are drawn for the conciliation of the freedom to religion and beliefs and the pressing need to prevent persons from radicalisation.

The article discusses the problems of the limitations of the human rights in the situations of crisis. The measures of crisis management are undertaken both in international and national levels, but the definitions of crisis and crisis management are rarely provided in legal acts. The article further discusses the theories of national security and their connection with the assurance of human rights. The permanent and temporary limitations of the human rights provided in international and national legal acts are discussed in the context of the measures taken in crisis management.

The autonomy of the HEIs and its limits is an object of constant discussions and inquiries. The question that is also researched and accentuated is the relationship between the autonomy of HEIs and the accountability to the society according to certain criteria. The financing aspect of higher education is also one of the most problematic aspects in the system of higher education. None of the models applied for the financing of higher education and measures chosen in Lithuania was able to ensure the accessibility of studies, quality, nor could attract qualified pedagogical personnel. It is stated that insufficient financing of higher education has direct influence on other dimensions of higher education system. If the universities are not granted autonomy of universities, they cannot be innovative and react effectively to social and economic changes, they are not able correspond social and economic needs of the state that cannot fulfil expectation of the students to achieve the better quality of life. The aim of the paper is to analyse the impact of chosen by the state financing method of higher education institutions on economic activities of the HEIs and their financial autonomy. In the first part of the paper the trends of the financing of the system of Lithuanian higher education are analysed. The second part of the paper analyses the impact of state financing on institutional autonomy of HEIs. The third part reveals the significance of financial autonomy of HEIs and its impact on economics of higher education. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ee.28.5.17899
