How Belgian government solved its ethnic problem?? |
|
Answer» In Belgium, leaders recognised the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities. The Belgian government accommodated its diverse ethnic population in the following manner:\tConstitution says that the number of Dutch and French speaking ministers shall be equal in the Central government. Thus, no single community can make decisions unilaterally.\tMany powers of the Central Government have been given to the state governments, of the two regions of the country. The state governments are not subordinate to the Central government.\tBrussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation.\tThere is a third kind of government, called the ‘community government’. This government is elected by the people belonging to one language community—Dutch, French and German speaking, no matter where they live. This government has the power regarding cultural education and language related issues.\tThese arrangements helped to avoid a civic strife between the two major communities and a possible division of the country on linguistic lines. Can anyone or u give answer in brief ? By the accomodation of the constitution. |
