What measures are taken for power sharing in Belgium ? |
| Answer» The arrangement that the Belgium leaders worked out is different from any other country and is very innovative. Some basic elements of the Belgium model of power sharing are\tBelgian Constitution prescribes 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 have been given to the State Governments because 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 type of government- ‘Community Government’ which is elected by people belonging to one language community (may be Dutch, French and German) and has the power regarding cultural, educational and language related issues.\tIn Belgium, the government does not follow preferential policies in matters of jobs and education.\tIn Belgium , there is a special government called community government to look after the cultural ,educational and language related issues.\tBelgium government tried to protect and foster all the languages spoken by the people. | |
