La modernisation de son administration publique a constitué un élément essentiel de sa consolidation démocratique. Le passage d’une gouvernance soviétique à une gouvernance démocratique, la mise en place de structures administratives, conformes aux standards européens, sont devenus des critères non négociables du processus d’élargissement à l’Est de l’Union Européenne (UE). Dans ce contexte, la réforme de l’administration publique lituanienne fut soumise à une politique de conditionnalité et à un jeu d’interactions entre acteurs internes et externes.

The research question is to evaluate whether the European Union (EU) had an impact on the party system in Lithuania: How did the Lithuanian parties develop contacts with their European counterparts? Do they have one or several visions of the “Return to Europe”? How do they use the EU dimension in the internal arena? Are some parties more “Eurosceptic”? Presenting a framework for the analysis on Europeanisation and party systems, Ladrech (2002) identified five areas: (1) policy/programmatic content, (2) organisation, (3) patterns of party competition, (4) partygovernment relations, and (5) relations beyond the national party system. This paper focuses on the topics 1 and 5. First, it is explained, how the Lithuanian party system has integrated into the panEuropean political parties’ networks. The “traditional” Lithuanian parties, established in the 1990s, have developed deep and stable...

This article is a case study about the adaptation of the Baltic parliaments to the EU multilevel governance. In the 1990s, the Baltic States wishing to join the EU, their parliaments had to face the simultaneous challenges of democratisation, Europeanisation and modernisation. During the pre-Accession period they were involved in the EU matters through the transposition of the EU law and the monitoring of the Accession negotiations. Inter-parliamentary contacts with their European counterparts were developed. This facilitated the learning of “good practices” and rules established in the EU Member States parliaments. Just after the EU Accession, the legal frameworks of the Baltic Parliaments were reinforced according to the Scandinavian model of parliamentary scrutiny system on EU affairs. Legally spea...

Afin de mettre un terme à l’isolement énergétique des États baltes, plusieurs projets d’envergure européenne, ayant recours ou non au nucléaire, sont en cours dans la région.
