ENHow do policy reforms interact with pre-existing institutions? This article builds on institutionalist analytical framework that distinguishes between four levels of institutions: social norms, polity, governance and strategies adopted by individuals or organizations. The basic argument is that policy reforms aimed at changes in governance-level institutions are: a) constrained by pre-existing institutions at other levels as well as b) changing them through a dynamic interactive process. Empirical analysis focuses on the case of Lithuanian higher education reform (2009-2013). On the one hand, it was considerably constrained by the pre-existing institutions, but also led to further development of Constitutional doctrine. Furthermore, implementation of the reform led to multiple institutional overlaps, when the “old” rules coexist with the “new” ones. [From the publication]
