| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis examines how experience from Lithuania’s 2013 Presidency of the Council of the EU is used in preparation for 2027. It analyses 25 documents and interviews with 14 participants. The findings show selective, uneven, and layered continuity. Organisational memory was distributed across records, routines, networks, and experienced officials, but shaped preparation only when actively retrieved and linked to current tasks. The 2013 model remains the main domestic foundation, while lessons from recent Presidencies update it for technological, security, and institutional changes. Most changes indicate single-loop learning; redistribution of responsibility is a provisional double-loop case. The study shows that continuity depends on access, interpretation, and bridge actors, not retention alone. |
