Abstract

This book provides a wide-ranging and comprehensive analysis of contemporary Belgium, the heart of the emerging economic and political federation of Europe. Intended as a definitive reference work for general readers, specialists, and members of the international business and diplomatic communities alike, "Modern Belgium" is an indispensable tool for understanding Belgium, its place in Europe, and the European Community. Divided into eight parts, the book contains sixty essays written by a group of eminent and authoritative contributors. Part I contains essays on geography, history, language, demography, religious belief, and national sentiment. PArt II focuses on Belgium's policies in relation to Benelux, North America, the European Community, the United Nations, Africa, and beyond. Part III analyzes Belgium's constitutional system and political institutions. Part IV studies the different sectors of the economy : agriculture, the manufacturing and construction industries, financial and other services, businesses, the energy industry, monetary policy, and foreign trade. Part V focuses on social policy : labor relations, employment, the welfare state and social security measures, immigration and foreign minorities, and principles of health care. Part VI examines all levels of education, from preschool to university and adult education. Part VII treats scientific policy, fundamental research, industrial research, interactions between universities and industry, and Belgian participation in international research. Finally, Part VIII concludes the book with a survey of different facets of Belgian culture : literature (both, french- and dutch-language), music, painting, architecture, sculpture, the dramatics arts, and gastronomy.
