This essay looks at Belgium’s integration and splitting crisis in the context of political structure, so-called “Dualistic-Federalism” composed of “Communities” and “Regions.” Under the minority ruling authority by the French-speaking people, the Dutch-speaking people in the Flemish region suffered from discrimination in all aspects of cultural, educational and social life, although they were a backbone of building Belgium based on the Catholicism and the bourgeoisie class. “The Flemish Movement” eventually resulted in “State Reforms” that abolished those outdated problems, and thus reconstructed federal state through dualistic-structure, in other words. The heterogeneous country, for a while, could maintain its political mechanism to ensure a unitary entity. At the same time, however, it introduced “separatism” over the political parties in the Dutch-speaking people, and consequently Belgian identity might disintegrate. Dualistic-Federalism is not the cure-all for political populism and separatism. It is necessary to consider that the task for integration lies in “People,” but neither in class and group that would be a dominant force, nor in political mechanism to take care of matter as it comes. Although Belgium’s case is different from the Korean unification project, it comes to be the useful reflection for the South-North Korea provided that the both Koreans together discover the way for creative evolution in national integration and crisis of the split.
Abstract
This essay looks at Belgium’s integration and splitting crisis in the context of political structure, so-called “Dualistic-Federalism” composed of “Communities” and “Regions.” Under the minority ruling authority by the French-speaking people, the Dutch-speaking people in the Flemish region suffered from discrimination in all aspects of cultural, educational and social life, although they were a backbone of building Belgium based on the Catholicism and the bourgeoisie class. “The Flemish Movement” eventually resulted in “State Reforms” that abolished those outdated problems, and thus reconstructed federal state through dualistic-structure, in other words. The heterogeneous country, for a while, could maintain its political mechanism to ensure a unitary entity. At the same time, however, it introduced “separatism” over the political parties in the Dutch-speaking people, and consequently Belgian identity might disintegrate. Dualistic-Federalism is not the cure-all for political populism and separatism. It is necessary to consider that the task for integration lies in “People,” but neither in class and group that would be a dominant force, nor in political mechanism to take care of matter as it comes. Although Belgium’s case is different from the Korean unification project, it comes to be the useful reflection for the South-North Korea provided that the both Koreans together discover the way for creative evolution in national integration and crisis of the split.
