Question

Why do we find the belgium model very complex ? how has it helped to prevent conflicts and divisions of the country and linguistic lines?

Answer 1

Answer:

Belgium Government understood the existence of different views and ideology that existed there and realised that development of country is possible only by respecting the views of all people of different communities.

It was complex because ,

• Both communities had equal representation in central government.
• Brussels has its own government , in which also both communities have equal rights.
• Many power of central government was given to state government.
• State government was no longer subordinate to central government.
• A third form of government named Community government was also formed.
• A law to be passed required the support of majority of members of both linguistic group.

It helped to Prevent conflicts and division because government was respecting the culture , beliefs , ideology , views of both communities. Both communities were given equal power . They all were equal before law .Such an innovative arrangement helped to prevent conflicts and division of country.

Hope it helps you :)

Answer 2

Answer:

(The power-sharing arrangements made by the Belgian leaders were different and more  innovative than any other country. To recognize the existence of regional differences and  cultural diversities, they amended their Constitution four times between 1970 and 1993.) ---> (this can technically be point 1 but can also be starting of the answer so it's your wish.)  

The major elements of the Belgian Model are:

2) Constitution prescribes that the number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal  in the Central Government. No single community can take decisions unilaterally.

3) The State Governments are not subordinate to the Central Government.

4) Brussels, the capital, has a separate government where both the communities have equal  representation.

5) A third kind of government, ‘Community Government’, is elected by people belonging to one  language community — Dutch, French and German speaking —no matter where they live. This  government can decide on cultural, educational and language related issues.
