Abstract

Belgium became a federal State in 1993, through a constitutional revision. Such evolution aimed at answering the growing tension between the two major linguistic groups. Belgium now appears in institutional terms as a State based on a double set of three federal entities (three regions and three communities). This however does only partly defuse the confrontational relations betvseen the two major linguistic groups. These thoughts on Belgian federalism try to illustrate the peculiarities resulting from this discrepancy between triangular institutional arrangements and a dual political confrontation.
