Abstract: We analyze the relationship between Borel measures and continuous linear functionals on the space $mathrm{Lip}_0(M)$ of Lipschitz functions on a complete metric space $M$. In particular, we describe continuous functionals arising from measures and vice versa. In the case of weak${}^{a}st$ continuous functionals, i.e. members of the Lipschitz-free space $mathcalF(M)$, measures on $M$ are considered. For the general case, we show that the appropriate setting is rather the uniform (or Samuel) compactification of $M$ and that it is consistent with the treatment of $mathcalF(M)$. This setting also allows us to give a definition of support for all elements of $mathrm{Lip}_0(M{)}^{a}st$ with similar properties to those in $mathcalF(M)$, and we show that it coincides with the support of the representing measure when such a measure exists. We deduce that the members of $mathrm{Lip}_0(M{)}^{a}st$ that can be expressed as the difference of two positive functionals admit a Jordan-like decomposition into a positive and a negative part.
