This article introduces a special issue dedicated to examining the management of the polycrisis and the policy responses of Lithuanian governments and public sector organisations between 2021 and 2025. We analyse operational practices in public sector governance and strategic decisions made by national and international/supranational authorities in the domains of migration, energy, and sanctions policy, all within a broader geopolitical context. The article presents the theoretical framework for analysis and research methodology employed in the policy-specific articles of this special issue. Our research also seeks to uncover any spillover effects among individual crises, to identify differences in policy response and crisis management across different policy areas, and to provide suggestions for future research on resilience in public management in the evolving geopolitical context.
