An examination of the conflict between Flemings and Walloons in Belgium. This study seeks to uncover the sources of national unity in Belgium. The following factors stand out as having served to unify the Belgian people: (1) a common heritage; (2) the transition to a federal state; (3) a consociational system; and (4) the intractable debate over Brussels.
This documentary history of the Flemish movement and its role as a social, intellectual and political force in Belgium recounts the struggle for the recognition of the language and cultural identity of the Dutch-speaking inhabitants of Belgium.
This is a book about shifting national identities in Belgium. It is an attempt to show how these identities emerged and evolved. It aims at explaining why the Belgian identity, which in 1830 was so strong that it could create a new nation-state, has become so weak that today it has to accept a mere overarching role above and in competition with the new national loyalties. More and more people wonder whether this country will survive.
