Abstract

Abstract This article re-conceptualizes Europeanization with a development theory based approach to assess changes in Lithuania after the country’s 2004 European Union (EU) accession. The authors use the development theory of Douglass North, John Wallis, and Barry Weingast as a conceptual framework to highlight the role of Lithuania’s elite and to examine broader social transformations. This developmental framework focuses and complements the current theory of Europeanization and emphasizes the positive role of the EU in promoting Lithuania’s long-term structural changes. A developmental approach also allows for an analysis of corruption and state capture, which are becoming important yardsticks for assessing change in Central and Eastern Europe. The results of this application (including a survey of the elite) demonstrate that, in Lithuania, change was more limited after joining the EU than during the pre-accession years and that the country’s domestic actors have been slow to replace the EU’s policy agenda with their own initiatives.

欧化与发展:用开放制度理论评价立陶宛加入欧盟后的发展
本文以发展理论为基础,对立陶宛2004年加入欧盟(EU)后的变化进行评估,重新定义欧洲化的概念。作者使用道格拉斯·诺斯、约翰·沃利斯和巴里·温加斯特的发展理论作为一个概念框架,以突出立陶宛精英的作用,并研究更广泛的社会变革。这一发展框架关注并补充了当前的欧洲化理论,强调了欧盟在促进立陶宛长期结构变革中的积极作用。发展的方法也允许对腐败和国家捕获进行分析,这正在成为评估中欧和东欧变化的重要标准。这一申请的结果(包括对精英的调查)表明,在立陶宛,加入欧盟后的变化比加入欧盟前的几年更加有限,而且该国的国内行动者在用自己的倡议取代欧盟的政策议程方面进展缓慢。
