  • Chapter 1 Science, Technology and Innovation System in Flanders
    Chapter 1 Science, Technology and Innovation system in Flanders 1 - Competencies in the field of science, research and innovation Federalism in Belgium Flanders is an autonomous region located in the northern part of Belgium, with Brussels as its capital. It manages important competencies and budgets in many policy fields. This is the result of a gradual process of change since 1970, resulting from 6 state reforms that have introduced a far-reaching degree of federalism in Belgium. Consequently, many competences have been transferred to the federalised authorities (Communities and Regions). Institutionally, Belgium is divided into four language areas (the Dutch-speaking, the bilingual Dutch/French, the French-speaking and the German-speaking), and is composed of three Communities (the Flemish, the French and the German-speaking) and three Regions (Flemish, Brussels Capital and Walloon). Consequently, policy-making within the country is prepared and executed by various authorities, based on three distinct pillars, each with their own range of competencies: a federal, a community and a regional pillar. The Belgian form of federalism is unique in the world. Its main characteristics are briefly: - each entity has exclusive powers and competencies in various areas (no shared competencies); - each entity has its own separately elected parliament, government, administration, legislation, advisory bodies, etc.; - no hierarchy exists between the different entities regarding their competencies (no overruling is possible); - since the fourth state reform of 1993, the principle of “in foro interno, in fore externo” has been applied, meaning that each entity executes its competencies both inside and outside Belgium. In 1980, the regional authorities were established.

  • National Museums in Belgium Felicity Bodenstein
    Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Belgium Felicity Bodenstein Summary The problematic and laboriously constructed nature of the Belgian nation is, to a large extent, reflected in the structure and distribution of Belgium’s federal/national museums. The complexity and contradictory nature of the administrative organisation of the Belgian state led one of its leading contemporary artists to comment that ‘maybe the country itself is a work of art’ (Fabre, 1998: 403). Its national museums - those which receive direct federal funding - are the result of a series of projects that founded the large cultural institutions of Brussels in the nineteenth century, decreed by the Belgian monarchy that was itself only founded in 1830. Brussels, the largely French speaking capital of the nation situated geographically in the centre of a Flemish speaking region, is since 1830 the seat of a constitutional monarchy and democratically elected parliament that governs over the two very distinct linguistic and cultural areas: the northern Dutch-speaking Flanders and southern French-speaking Wallonia. In his article on ‘What, if Anything, Is a Belgian?’, Van der Craen writes : ‘Belgium has been at the centre of a heated debate since its creation. The relatively young country has had little time to develop any nationalistic feelings in comparison to, for instance, the Netherlands or France’ (2002 : 32).

  • In Search of Identities: 'Foreigners' in Fin-De- Siècle Belgian Café-Concerts
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 In search of identities: ‘Foreigners’ in fin-de- siècle Belgian café-concerts Evelien Jonckheere, University of Antwerp, Belgium Abstract: This article reveals the substantial presence of all kinds of foreigners among the audiences in Belgian café-concerts and their position in ambitious urban and national politics in fin-de- siècle Belgian cities. Although ignored by academics for decades, Belgian fin-de-siècle café- concerts and their hedonistic atmosphere were highly influential, and even imitated, abroad. By combining quantitative and qualitative data from a wide range of research fields, it is possible to comprehend the café-concert and its audiences as transgressive identities, challenging concepts of social space, as well as nationalities, class and gender. By recognizing foreigners’ unique position in modern Belgian cities and also the café-concert as their favoured place for social encounters, new light is shed on the international community, urban economy, nationhood and modern identities.
