8 Acknowledgement This book was made possible because of the University Talent Grant that was provided to me by the Ubbo Emmius Fund, for which I am very grateful. It is the result of my research on legal transplants and socio-legal change at the Centre for Law, Administration and Society of the Faculty of Law at the University of Groningen, one of the best and oldest universities in Western Europe, founded as early as in I am also grateful for my former Alma Mater Universitas Vilnensis, Vilnius University, one of the oldest and most famous universities in Eastern and Central Europe, founded in 1579, and, especially, the Institute of International Relations and Political Science, which prepared me for the international academic career. I am most grateful to my two promotors, Professor Jacobus de Ridder and Professor Jan H. Jans, who offered the most valuable academic guidance and support during the whole process of writing. I will be missing intense intellectual conversations with Ko, during which we were discussing all possible issues in science and not only, forgetting the flow of time, the outside world, and risking to be locked by a security officer. I am exceptionally thankful to the first readers of this book, Professor Evert F. Stamhuis, Professor Hans H.B. Vedder, and Professor Ramūnas Vilpišauskas, who meticulously went through every sentence and reference of this lengthy work. I would like to thank my former colleagues at the Department of Constitutional Law, Administrative Law and Public Administration for their support and friendship. I remember with pleasure the long-lasting academic sessions carried every year in May or June on one of the most beautiful Dutch islands called Schiermonnikoog. We used to stay at the same, almost three hundred years old, Hotel van der Werff, which amazing history deserves a separate study. I am thankful to all research fellows of the Centre for Law, Administration and Society who shared their ideas during the inspirational research seminars on Legal Transplants, led by Professor Evert F. Stamhuis and Professor Jacobus de Ridder, as well as during enriching seminars on Law in Context with invited international legal scholars, led by Professor John Griffiths. I am especially thankful to my paranymphs Albertjan Tollenaar, my very best Dutch friend, and Hanna Tolsma, my very best Frisian friend, for their ultimate friendship and support. Finally, this book would have been impossible without unconditional and continuous support of my loved ones, for whom I dedicate this book: my dearest parents, who supported all my choices, including the one when I decided to switch to social sciences after studying architecture in the most prestigious Vilnius Academy of Arts, and the one when I decided leave my native Lithuania in order to pursue research in Groningen; my dear children, whose greatest love gives me so much strength; and my dear husband, my real mate in life.

20 Explaining Legal Transplants Abstract What conditions drive or impede the transfer and reception of laws and how? In other words, what is the social explanation of legal transplantation one of the most common forms of legal change? The answers to these questions are important not only for social and legal scholars, but also for designers of legal reforms. This book presents an interdisciplinary attempt to explain the legal transplantation process by identifying conditions that shaped transplantation of EU regulatory rules to Central Eastern Europe. Based on a critical review of the existent knowledge about legal transplantation and similar phenomena (policy transfer, social learning, lesson drawing, and diffusion), the author develops an analytical framework, which aids in distinguishing the legal transplantation shaping conditions. The research includes case studies on the object of transfer, the process of transplantation, and two recipient countries - Lithuania and Poland. Using a comparative method, the author establishes the determining importance of institutional conditions, such as organisation of approximation activities, as well as ideational conditions, such as development of national discourses on the need and scope of legal approximation. Differently, structural and psychological conditions, often identified in the literature as determining the course and outcome of legal transplantation, appeared to be secondary. Indeed, in Lithuania, a deficient organisation of approximation activities, in combination with political-administrative instability, and the weak national argument for early adoption of acquis, impeded the general process of legal approximation, despite the presence of strong external and internal political incentives. The accumulated delay in approximation of national legislation, together with the growing pressure for being on time, resulted in the erection of Potemkin villages. However, in the field of competition policy and state aid control, different sets of institutional and ideational conditions to those in the general process were established. Here the main impediments in the approximation process were caused by activities of interest groups and state s protectionism. It is concluded that legal transplantation phenomena are better explained by arguments relying on institutional and ideational logic, rather than on structural or psychological. 19
