Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the process of policy transfer in the candidate countries/ new member states before and after EU eastward enlargement. The analysis is based on the experience of Lithuania in several policy areas. Policy transfer is analysed at three different levels (macro, medium and micro), the analysis is based on the new institutionalist approach. The paper assesses the effectiveness of different policy transfer types, the impact of EU-level and domestic factors on policy transfer as well as main outcomes of policy transfer. Finally, the paper summarises main findings of the analysis and discusses the future of policy transfer in the enlarged EU.
