After the armistice, Belgium had to reconstruct itself politically and culturally. In literature, this led to latinization that very quickly became a sort of assimilation to France. At the same time, this caused an increase of national conscience that developed among young people as a movement alongside the literary, which has returned under French suzerainty. Some writers (Gauchez, Perier, etc.), however, began to celebrate Belgian francophone authors in order to claim the existence of a different corpus of French literature per se. In 1919, young author Henry Soumagne returned from the German camps and gave in “Les épaves” a fable that attests to the tension between the weight of the 19th-century Belgian myth and 1920s modernism.

In this paper the author reconsiders the approach taken by Belgian politicians, working to promote European integration, vis-à-vis the question of European identity, roots and values, as well as their attitude towards European political objectives. We compare these views with those of French authors or politicians. Finally, we examine the current issues surrounding Belgian identity, caught between the French-speaking community and the increasingly strong Flemish identity. By way of a conclusion, I shall try to show how Belgium, with its identity- related issues, is sometimes presented as a ‘test lab for Europe’, as it was in the past, in completely different contexts, in 1921 at the time of the BLEU (Belgo- Luxembourg Economic Union) and in 1944 with the founding of the Benelux union.

In this paper we look at the position of social renting in Flanders after the GFC. It is argued that the GFC has hardly affected the production levels of social rental dwellings. On the contrary levels remain higher than before the GFC. Starting from that, we briefly illustrate what the current debates in social rental housing are.

Savitzkaya, hardly known to French public, delights contemporary readers with his style, displaying both peculiar and variegated characteristics. Although he dispenses with the matters of genre, his latest texts (Célébration d’un mariage improbable et illimité, 2002, Exquise Louise, 2003, Fou trop poli, 2005) are still thought to represent the novel. His peculiarity lies in that he contrasts a daily routine with brilliantly worked form, nevertheless well suited to depict it. His predilection for language is pervasive in his style, showing strong preference for details (still, it stands in a stark contrast to the practice of the Nouveaux Romanciers of the 20th century). Savitzkaya asserts himself with the aid of conciseness, draws to a large extent upon surprising stylistic devices, juggles with words, even if paying careful attention to their precision. Finally, he acts as a genuine poet, reviving fragrances and colors of childhood. All in all, the whole of his work is designed to bring his readers to take pleasure in living.

Analysis of the direction of changes in the composition of the Senate indicates that the political idea is to shape the Senate according to the most common model of a second chamber in federal states, formed by federal entities and limited in their competence to matters that are most important from the point of view of the entire federation and the interests of federal entities. The future of the Senate will depend on the activity and functioning of this chamber, especially if it turns out to be a functional bridge of communication between the entities of the federation, which is probably the most serious Belgian political challenge.

The aim of the paper is to present comprehensive and innovative solutions used in the UK and the Flemish part of Belgium in the support of families adopting a child with disabilities. The material was collected on the basis of in-depth interviews conducted with Dr Lucille Allain from Middlesex University (UK) and Dr Prakash Goossens from Fracarita International, study visits, as well as analysis of documents available in the informational materials of ministries and non-governmental organizations. The tendencies present in the practice of both countries and selected forms of support, such as adoption leave with remuneration, financial assistance, accommodation adjustment, provision of care and therapy and help in becoming independent provided directly to people with disabilities were described. The analysis of the examples of both countries shows that families who have adopted disabled children can benefit from the privileges and allowances available for families with a disabled child (e.g. allowance for disabled persons, care allowance) and additional benefits resulting from the adoption of a child (e.g. adoption leave, Adoption Support Fund). In both countries, comprehensive and personalized solutions are implemented, including health, care, educational and therapeutic services, planned based on a multidisciplinary diagnosis. In addition, non-governmental and private organizations, apart from the state institutions, are systemically included in implementation of these solutions. In both countries, a number of practical solutions (e.g. personal budget) have been adopted to empower people with disabilities and their independent living in the local environment, ensuring, if needed, provision of the individualized support.

In the article, the author analyzes the sixth state reform carried out in 2012–2014, the direct justification of which was the deep socio-political crisis concentrated in the highly fragmented House of Representatives. The need to implement a political understanding that was to resolve the conflict prompted the Belgian Parliament to apply a novel procedural ruse. Since it differed from the original amendment procedure, it raised significant controversy, which was discussed in the article in the course of assessment of the constitutionality of the introduced amendments. The effects of such a unique approach included mostly intensified discussions on the legitimacy of maintaining the primary, rather rigorous procedure of amending the Constitution of the Kingdom of Belgium, which resulted in proposals of implementing a more flexible and more democratic procedure.

Belgium was not in a difficult situation during heavy influx of immigrants but on the other hand, in some areas, Belgium has failed in spite of past experience with immigrants. This article presents the colonial past of Belgium, the evolution of international migration since the year 2000–2014 as well as more broadly discussed the situation of migrants on the Belgian labor market in the years 2015–2016.

In current historiography of Dutch-written Flemish literature in Central Europe, this literature is framed primarily as (part of) Dutch literature. This might be plausible for recent decades. However, it is highly anachronistic for the early 20th century. A century ago, many Flemish writers preferred writing in French. French-written Flemish literature was highly successful in the international arena — as an integral part of Belgian literature, at least from an external perspective, e.g. from Central Europe. This is obvious from a reassessment of the case of Anton Kippenberg, director of the Leipzig publishing house Insel, who published Flemish authors before, during and after the Great War. As the Kippenberg case demonstrates, an adequate understanding of the circulation of Dutch-written Flemish literature in Central Europe in the early 20th century is impossible without regarding Flemish letters as (part of) a bilingual phenomenon — as Belgian literature.

Belgium often is of interest to social scientists and the public. This is not merely a consequence of the fact that Brussels is the political heart of Europe. Difficulties with the appointment of the government, the extreme multi‑party system, disputes about the competence of Communities and Regions, the gradual social and cultural divergence between the Flemish and the Walloons are only the most important problems of modern Belgium. Initially, monolingual, through Flemish Movement’s activities, Belgium became a state that recognizes Dutch. Successive reforms have resulted in federalisation of the state. These changes do not resolve the problems of Belgium. Cultural diversity and political instability still provoke questions about the future of Belgium.

Over the period directly following the Second World War, continuity and discontinuity were closely interwoven in the Walloon literature. From one hand, esthetic models from Interwar period were still present and no novel concepts appeared in the writings of Walloon authors. From the other, however, a large number of new State-run institutions were inaugurated. The hardships suffered during the war, seen mainly as an instance of disruption, are abundantly described in literary works, especially in testimonies. It is in this context that Arthur Haulot, Belgian poet and novelist, made prisoner and taken to Dachau, created his literary poignant output. His writings are marked by harsh experiences undergone in camps.

Education and the organisation thereof is the most important factor influencing the competitiveness of an economy, the wealth of a society and quality of life, as is evidenced by those developed countries with higher numbers of educated people. One of the key factors in determining the quality of an education system is the remuneration of the individuals working in it. A sectoral analysis was therefore conducted on the basis of research into the systems of remuneration in the education sectors of three countries, namely the Czech Republic, Belgium and Germany. The purpose was to compare the results and indicate a space for further research.

Dr Gustaaf Schamelhout – a French-speaking Fleming who, after having read De Leeuw van Vlaanderen, embraced his Flemish identity and developed a fascination for the question of nationality – published in 1930 an extensive three-volume study entitled De Volkeren van Europa en de strijd der nationaliteiten (The nations of Europe and the struggle of nationalities). In this solid, well-founded work, Schamelhout examines the friction points between European nationalities and attempts to present solutions for their peaceful coexistence. The tenth anniversary of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes offers him the opportunity to analyse thoroughly this multifaceted state, to demonstrate its weaknesses and to propose solutions. His motivation is a personal one: every nationality problem leads to comparisons and offers him a parallel to the situation in Belgium. After all, the position of the Flemings within the Belgian state has been the starting point of his scientific interest. The benevolent optimism that Schamelhout displayed towards the future of Yugoslavia was put to shame by its violent collapse. Whether his recipe of far-reaching federalisation will prove successful in the case of Belgium remains to be seen.

Belgian data from the PIDOP project show that boys are more involved than girls in illegal political actions, namely the production of graffiti and other acts of “incivility”. These activities must be considered in both groups as complementary to conventional political and social participation and not as their opposite. The main explanatory factor is the level of the perceived efficaciousness of such actions. The lack of trust in institutions and the level of awareness of societal discrimination play no significant explanatory role. In males, the involvement level in these activities depends on feelings of personal discrimination and on the lack of freedom concerning individual choice, confirming the theory of societal vulnerability and Honneth’s theory of recognition. This level also increases along with increasing opportunities to make acquaintances and have fun in the neighbourhood. In females, this involvement is explained by the distance with regard to pro-sociality level.

Tervuren. The Belgian MirrorThe paper describes the history and the ideology of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium, founded in 1898. The role of the museum and its exhibition is analysed in the context of Belgian history, taking into account the tensions between Flemings and Walloons as well as changes in the attitude towards Africa and Africans. The author proposes to divide the history of the evolution of the RMCA exhibition into four stages: from the colonial exhibition to the current reconstruction of the museum.Tervuren, czyli belgijskie lustroArtykuł opisuje historię i ideologię powstałego w 1898 roku Królewskiego Muzeum Afryki Centralnej w Tervuren w Belgii.

Autor proponuje podzielić ewolucję muzeum na cztery etapy: od wystawy kolonialnej po obecną przebudowę.

Artykuł jest poświęcony specyfice rewizji Konstytucji Królestwa Belgii za pomocą tzw. metody implicite. W niezbędnym zakresie została w nim zarysowana zdefiniowana w art. 195 konstytucji zwyczajna, niezwykle trudna do przeprowadzenia procedura zmiany tej ustawy zasadniczej, po czym zdefiniowana została metoda implicite jako nieformalna metoda dorozumianej rewizji konstytucji mająca na celu „obejście” trybu wskazanego w tym przepisie. Autor krytycznie ocenia prezentowaną metodę. Jego zdaniem, rewizja konstytucji dokonywana w ten sposób przyczynia się do dewaluacji znaczenia konstytucji, a jednocześnie świadczy o konieczności reformy art. 195.

This paper focuses on the unique characteristics of revisions of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Belgium using the so-called “implicit” method. To the extent necessary, the paper outlines the ordinary, extremely difficult procedure defined in Art. 195 of the Constitution for amending the Constitution and then defines the implicit method as an informal method of implied revision of the Constitution designed to “circumvent” the procedure indicated in that Article. The author is critical of the method presented herein. In his opinion, a constitutional revision carried out in this manner contributes to a devaluation of the importance of the Constitution while demonstrating the need for a reform of its Art. 195.

The article attempts to analyze the significance of the Sixth State Reform in the context of the evolution of the federal system in Belgium. The origins and the assumptions of this reform are analyzed, its main areas are presented, and then the systemic changes are evaluated. The deliberations, which took a broad account of the statements of representatives of the Belgian science of public law, lead to the conclusion that the reform, on the one hand, may be regarded as a kind of Copernican revolution in politics, but on the other hand, it is a missed opportunity to unravel the complicated paths of the Belgian federalism. The conclusions also indicate possible projections of the directions of the evolution of the political system in Belgium, concluding that the reform does not settle the directions of further development and the changes in this extremely sublime, though not necessarily clear, territorial structure of the country. However, it seems to be certain that this is not the last reform.

W artykule podjęto próbę analizy znaczenia Szóstej Reformy Państwa w kontekście ewolucji ustroju federalnego Belgii. Przeanalizowano genezę oraz założenia tej reformy, przedstawiono główne jej obszary, a następnie dokonano oceny przeprowadzonych zmian ustrojowych. Rozważania, przy których uwzględniono szeroko wypowiedzi przedstawicieli belgijskiej nauki prawa publicznego, prowadzą do wniosku, że reforma z jednej strony może być uznana za swoisty ustrojowy przewrót kopernikański, ale z drugiej strony jest niewykorzystaną szansą na rozplątanie skomplikowanych ścieżek federalizmu belgijskiego. W konkluzjach wskazano również możliwe projekcje kierunków ewolucji ustroju politycznego Belgii, wnioskując że reforma nie przesądza kierunków dalszego rozwoju i zmian w tej niezwykle wysublimowanej, choć niekoniecznie czytelnej strukturze terytorialnej tego państwa. Wydaje się jednak przesądzone, że nie jest to reforma ostatnia.

The Catholic church in Poland undertook steps to provide optimal pastoral care for the Polish people abroad. These activities were formalized through the creation of the Polish Catholic Missions. The first Polish Catholic Mission was created in France (1922), next one in January 1926 in Belgium. This mission extended its power over Denmark, Holland (1927). The priests who successively held the office of Rector of the Polish Catholic Missions: T. Kotowski, W. Kudłacik and R. Moskwa organized pastoral, cultural, educational life among the Polish people and left, in the form of statements and reports, the descriptions of the condition and situation of the Polish emigrants abroad.

This article is dedicated to international connections between selected representatives of Polish and Western avant-gardes in art and literature of the interwar period. Both the nature and the scale of such relations have been exemplified by a number of artists from the “a.r.” group – Katarzyna Kobro, Władysław Strzemiński, Henryk Stażewski and Jan Brzękowski, as well as their relationships with the representatives of Dutch and Belgian formations, inter alia “De Stijl” group. The origin of those connections has been briefly presented, along with their nature, dynamics and an impact they made on artworks and theories of chosen artists. Their description is based on archival documents and publications, from which a picture of direct relationships between the leading artists of the European avant-garde emerges – some of them personal, some correspondence-based; they have also been presented in form of a diagram that illustrates the text.

The uncontrolled wave of immigrants to the European Union countries, which reached its peak in 2015, challenged not only the well-established system of asylum policies in the Member States but also revealed the fundamental differences among them concerning the so-called “immigration issue”. The article focuses on the mechanisms and institutions which evolved during the different waves of immigrants in Belgium and the Netherlands. It also looks for an answer to the question: is mass immigration to Europe a threat or an opportunity? Depending on one’s attitude to the topic, the answer may be positive or negative.
