${\mathfrak{\green{\underline{\underline{Main\;features\;of\;Belgian\;model\;of\;power\;sharing\;are:-}}}}}$

⇒ The number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers are equal in the central government. Some special laws require the support of majority of members from each linguistic group. Thus, no single community can make decisions unilaterally.

⇒ Many powers of the central government have been given to state governments of the two regions of the country. The state governments are not subordinate to the Central Government.

⇒ Brussels has a separate government in which both the communities have equal representation. The French- speaking people accepted equal representation in Brussels because the Dutch-speaking community has accepted equal representation in the Central Government.

⇒ Apart from the Central and the State Government, there is a third kind of government. This ‘community government’ is elected by people belonging to one language community – Dutch, French and German-speaking – no matter where they live. This government has the power regarding cultural, educational and language-related issues.
