Summary/Abstract: The essay takes a look at twinning, a phenomenon left largely unexplored by European studies and international relations scholars. The author deals with twinning through the institutional prism, focusing on institutional change as a result of non-instrumental change of institutional actors' pref-erences. Twinning is a secondment of experts from EU member states administratives to the candi-date countries. Its aim is to help the applicant countries with institution buildingfor successful and effective implementation ofthe acquis communautaire. The author seeks to identify processes and mechanisms of institutional changes in the public ad-ministration of a given candidate country within the context of twinning projects, aiming toformu-late framework conditions for unconditioned institutional change and test these hypotheses on the data collected during research.
