The land is threatening to disintegrate under the strain of a long-standing 'nationalities' problem. On the one hand there is Flanders, which wishes to see the further division of the country. On the other hand there is Wallonia, which wants to preserve the status quo. In between them stands the Brussels capital city region, whose position is far from clear. This book examines the fault lines which have led to the current situation. In particular, the democratisation of voting rights in 1893 and the growing regionalisation of the economy after 1970 are crucial factors. Both helped to strengthen the regional identities of Flanders and Wallonia, against the background of an institutional model that seems to have reached its limits.

This is the first book in English on the history of the actual disintegration of Belgium. It analyses how Belgium and its kings managed to control in a non-violent way the complex nationalist antagonisms between Flemings and Walloons.

Tracing the fault lines that have led to the current uneasy relations between Belgium, Flanders, and Wallonia, this history shows how the monarchy in Belgium has changed with the times since the democratization of voting rights in 1893. The policies now confronting parliament, however, will be another serious test of the monarchy, according to this analysis. As the result of its growing regional economy since 1970, Flanders has made a bid to divide the country, and this discussion considers the possible breakup of Belgium from the perspective of the past--and then looks ahead at the implications for other countries in the European Union.
