Keeping tabs” on coalition partners: a Theoretically salient case study of Lithuanian coalitional governments / Clark, Terry D; Jurgelevieiute, Diana   Journal Article
Clark, Terry D Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Portfolio allocation raises the potential for de facto abdication on a broad range of policy issues among coalition partners. Recent scholarship has addressed how parties in governing coalitions 'keep tabs' on each other in order to avoid such abdication. Two mechanisms have been identified: junior ministerial appointments and chairs of parliamentary oversight committees. We argue that the former is the most common method for intra-coalitional oversight in the Lithuanian parliament and that a combination of the two appears to be employed for monitoring the activities of the most important ministries. We conjecture that dependence on junior ministerial oversight is more likely among coalition partners in less institutionalised parliaments

Lithuanian energy freedom: will the US help? / Pavilionis, Zygimantas   Article
Pavilionis, Zygimantas Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract During fifty years of illegal and often brutal occupation, the Soviet Union designed an energy infrastructure for Lithuania that made it totally dependent upon Russia for oil and natural gas. After the re-establishment of independence in 1990, we moved from suffering under the status quo to accepting the need for change, and finally to making steady progress toward energy independence.
