The Belgian linguistic compromise: between old battles and new challenges

Abstract: In this chapter we analyse the main rules and principles governing the Belgian comprmise concerning language recognition and distribution of powers for linguistic policy. The paper examines current challenges to this compromise: the tension with the protection of human rights and national minorities; European integration and globalisation, including migratory movements and the internationalisation of economic exchanges. Finally, potential reforms to modernise the Belgian compromise in the face of these challenges are discussed
