This book takes stock of Belgium’s exceptional and – for some foreign observers –schizophrenic position in the political world and explains its idiosyncrasy to a non-Belgian audience.
Offering a broad and comprehensive analysis of Belgian politics, the guiding questions throughout each of the chapters of this book are : Is Belgium a political enigma, and why ? Along which axes is Belgium "exceptional" compared to other countries ? And what insights does a comparative study of Belgian politics have to offer ? The book therefore provides a critical assessment of how Belgian politics "stands out" internationally, both in good and bad ways – including consociationalism, federalism, democratic innovations, Euroscepticism, government formation, gender equality, among others – and which factors can explain Belgium’s exceptional position. Based on cutting-edge research findings, the book will be of wide interest to scholars and students of Belgian politics, European Politics and Comparative politics. Didier Caluwaerts is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. Min Reuchamps is Professor of Political Science at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), Belgium. [Présentation par le site internet de l'éditeur, novembre 2021] |
