Abstract

Despite shared history and a common ambition to comply with European standards, post-Soviet countries differ in the way in which they reform prisons. By investigating two most-similar cases of policy transfer from Norway – the establishment of the Olaine Drug Centre in Latvia and the Pravieniškės Drug Unit in Lithuania – this article explains why outcomes diverge and how Western-European carceral individualism clashes with path-dependent carceral collectivism. Where leadership is unstable, with limited powers, the informal legacies are strong, and policy-transfer strategy is fragmented, as in Lithuania, the outcome is likely to be non-transformative. Where, on the contrary, leadership is stable, enjoying larger discretionary powers and the intervention strategy is holistic, as in Latvia, the import of foreign institutional models is likely to be successful.

后苏联监狱的欧洲化:从挪威到拉脱维亚和立陶宛监狱政策转移的比较案例研究
尽管有共同的历史和遵循欧洲标准的共同目标,后苏联国家在改革监狱的方式上有所不同。通过调查来自挪威的两个最相似的政策转移案例——拉脱维亚的Olaine药物中心和立陶宛的Pravieniškės药物部门——本文解释了为什么结果不同,以及西欧的狱卒个人主义如何与路径依赖的狱卒集体主义发生冲突。在领导层不稳定、权力有限、非正式遗产强大、政策转移战略支离破碎的地方(如立陶宛),结果很可能不会带来变革。相反,在领导层稳定、享有更大的自由裁量权、干预战略是整体的地方(如拉脱维亚),引进外国机构模式可能会取得成功。
