Book Description
This book explores the political ideas of the Belgian Revolution of 1830, which led to the break-up of the Restoration state of the ‘united’ Kingdom of the Netherlands. It uncovers the origins of liberalism and political Catholicism in the Southern Netherlands in the wake of the French Revolution, and traces the development of political language in the context of the tensions between the Northern and Southern part of the united Netherlands. It shows how differences in ‘Dutch’ and ‘Belgian’ political and intellectual history resulted in different understandings of essential political concepts such as ‘sovereignty’ and ‘balance of powers’, as well as of the nature of the constitutional order of 1815. Finally, it traces the emergence of Belgian nationalism within the discourse of opposition against the government. Stefaan Marteel therefore provides a fresh perspective on the intellectual background of the rise of the nation-state in the nineteenth century.

The United States of Belgium
Author: Jane Judge
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9462701571
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
New and comprehensive insights into the seminal events that shaped Belgian identity In 1790, between the birth of America (1776) and the creation of the French National Assembly (1789), nine provinces nestled between the French and Dutch borders declared themselves a new free and independent country: the United States of Belgium. Before then, the provinces had been part of the vast Austrian Habsburg Empire ruled by Joseph II. In 1789 revolutionaries from Brussels to Ghent to Namur recruited a grass-roots army that, to the surprise of many, successfully chased imperial forces from the majority of the territories. The exhilaration of military triumph and political independence quickly faded as revolutionary factions fought each other and the European monarchies became more nervous in the face of French radicalization. Yet, the course of events had fostered the solidification of a new identity among the provinces’ inhabitants: Belgianness. This is the story of the emergence of Belgianness in the crucible of revolution. The United States of Belgium tells the story of the First Belgian Revolution before the creation of a language barrier between French and Dutch. It incorporates over 50 contemporary images of the revolutionary era.

Political History of Belgium from 1830 Onwards
Author: Els Witte
Publisher: Vub Brussels University Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This new political history of Belgium provides the reader with insights into the management of the economic recession of the 1980's, the constitutional reforms of 1988 and 1992-93, into recent developments among political parties and pressure groups and the problems facing them today, and into the changing relations between parliament, the government and the titular head of state. This edition has been completely revised, involving a re-examination of events from 1830 to 1945 in the light of more recent historical work and a systematic reworking of the period after 1945. Very recent developments are treated fully, including the crisls of legitimacy of the political system in general and of the workings of the law in particular. Seldom has the Belgian political landscape seen as many new developments as recently: an electoral breakthrough by the extreme right, a mass demonstration of popular concern for murdered and missing children, questions about the monarchy after the death of King Baudouin and an increasing influence of the media. A new and revised edition of this standard work on Belgian political history was overdue.
