Advancing Citizen Engagement Through Digital Tools: A Comparative Study of the Baltic States
This comparative study examines the implementation of e-participation platforms in the three young democracies of the Baltic States: the Estonian Citizens’ Initiative Portal, the Latvian platform MyVoice, and the Lithuanian E-Citizen platform. Drawing on 28 interviews with key stakeholders of these platforms, alongside with an analysis of their content and relevant documents, this article demonstrates that, while governments often expect digitali…
The Impact of a Polycrisis on Policy and Institutional Change: A Framework for Analysis and Methodology
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. …
Lithuania’s Response to the Crisis of Irregular Migration in 2021–2024
A detailed analysis of Lithuania’s operational and strategic responses to irregular migration flows from Belarus has been lacking. The ongoing attempts to cross the EU external border, facilitated by Belarusian authorities, started in the summer of 2021, and coincided with simultaneous crisis situations, namely, the difficulties associated with the implementation of international/EU economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and high energy pr…
The Impact of Significant Events on Public Policy and Institutional Change: Towards a Research Agenda
Data shows that significant events such natural disasters, anthropogenic disasters and malign activities by hostile actors, often having cross-border effects, have been on the rise. However, the studies of the effects of those events on public policies, governance and institutions remain inconclusive. In this article we present a research agenda which proposes the classification of the significant events on the basis of their characteristics back…
Making change happen: Policy dynamics in the adoption of major reforms in Lithuania
Previous studies of policy reforms that were undertaken during the recent global financial crisis mostly focused on fiscal consolidation, with much less attention paid to other structural reforms. Although the impact of such external shocks as crisis or change of government on systemic change is widely acknowledged, little agreement exists on which intervening factors can best account for successes or failures of reform commitments. In this artic…
Ar įvyko biurokratijos saulėlydis Lietuvoje ? Saulėlydžio komisijų teiktų rekomendacijų poveikis viešojo valdymo politikai 1999–2016 metais
[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English] Lithuania has a fragmented advisory system, with a total of 213 advisory bodies working at the central level of government in 2017. Ad hoc advisory bodies have low average lifespans, while the permanent advisory bodies usually have small administrative capacities. The Sunset Commissions were an exception because they advised Lithuanian governments for more than ten years – having been…
Lietuvos Respublikos Seimo Prioritetinių Teisės Aktų Darbotvarkės Kaita 2005–2015 Metais
Sistemingi, ilgąjį laikotarpį apimantys viešosios politikos darbotvarkės tyrimai pastarąjį dešimtmetį sulaukia vis daugiau tyrėjų dėmesio. Nors šios viešosios politikos studijų krypties populiarumas užsienyje didėja, Lietuvoje susidomėjimas viešosios politikos darbotvarkės kaitos tema išlieka mažas. Šiame tyrime siekiama užpildyti su užsienio šalių studijomis palyginamų Lietuvos viešosios politikos darbotvarkės tyrimų trūkumą, analizuojant LR Sei…
Lietuvos Viešojo Administravimo Pokyčiai Ir Europos Sąjungos Poveikis: Agentūrizacija Ir Depolitizacija
The paper compares the actual patterns of agencification and depoliticisation in Lithuania and explains the extent to which the EU contributed to these changes. Based on the transformational approach and theories of public policy process, our framework for analysis links external factors (including the EU’s influence), internal factors and our dependent variables (changes in public administration and the impact of the EU). Our research employs (d…
Lietuvos Respublikos Vyriausybės Veiklos Prioritetai: Kaip Analizuoti Jų Įgyvendinimo Procesą Ir Rezultatus
Vyriausybių įsipareigojimų įgyvendinimas yra vienas aktualiausių viešosios politikos proceso tyrimų klausimų. Atotrūkis tarp rinkimų kampanijos metu deklaruojamų, vyriausybių programose įtvirtinamų prioritetų ir praktinio jų įgyvendinimo yra tapęs nusivylimo šaltiniu daugelyje demokratinių šalių ir susilaukęs išskirtinio tyrėjų dėmesio. Šiame straipsnyje pristatomi viešosios politikos prioritetų tyrimo klausimai, teorinis analizės pagrindas ir hi…

Our research was based on desk research, which was supplemented by interviews with government decision-makers. The article found that Lithuania successfully pursued fiscal consolidation, which contributed to stabilising its economy and public finances. If economic factor…
Viešojo Valdymo Reformos Lietuvoje: Kodėl Ir Kuo Reikia Pakeisti Naująją Viešąją Vadybą
Šiame straipsnyje analizuojamos svarbiausios viešojo valdymo doktrinos (tradicinis administravimas, Naujoji viešoji vadyba, po-NVV ir su ja susijusios doktrinos), įvertinamas doktrininis viešojo valdymo reformų pagrindas Lietuvoje 2004–2010 m., pateikiama siūlymų dėl būsimosios viešojo valdymo reformos darbotvarkės (principų, krypčių ir proceso). Nepaisant vyriausybių politinių pažiūrų ir kadencijų skirtumų, svarbūs viešojo valdymo reformos spren…

Letuvos Vyriausybės Įstaigų Ir Įstaigų Prie Ministerijų Vadovų Kaita Ir Politizacija
This article analyses the change and politicisation of management in the Lithuanian government agencies and agencies under the ministries in the period 1990–2012. Changes in de jure politicisation of the higher civil service depended on structural and civil service reforms. The start of Lithuania’s accession to the EU marked a decline in structural politicisation, but de facto politicisation increased throughout this period. However, the politici…
Theory-based evaluation of capacity-building interventions
Despite the increased attention of evaluation theorists and practitioners on theory-based evaluation, there is still no agreement regarding how to apply this evaluation approach in practice. In order to further advance the application of theory-based evaluation, the article elaborates a specific causal model for the in-depth evaluation of capacity-building interventions supported by the European Social Fund. This model of program outcomes is used…

Lithuanian public administration: A usable state bureaucracy
Reform of the state bureaucracy has been a serious challenge in Lithuania. In the face of a dearth of leaders with the requisite administrative expertise as well as capacity for developing ideologically coherent programs, Lithuania's political parties have had great difficulty in properly managing and directing the ministries of the government. At the same time, the Soviet era legacy of command administration with an emphasis on formalism (versus…
