This diploma thesis strives to examine the relation between
language politics and the process of federalization in Belgium with
an emphasis on the Flemish-Walloon conflict. The main thesis here
is that language laws drove the process of federlazation in Belgium
from a once unitary state. It is thus the goal here to show whether
this is true or whether there have been additional factors that
have come into play in Belgium's evolution towards a federal state.
The term globalization arouses different feelings. Some people
regard it with fear; others consider it the incarnation of a new
time - a time when the relations between different cultures and
parts of the world intensify increasingly. Consequently, the term
is not only used to explain highly diverse phenomena but also to
shed light on the alleged darkness of a world in change. In this
collective volume, scientists from different academic disciplines
and regions of the world wanted to make available their perceptions
of this ample term to a broader audience. Twenty contributions
comprising nine academic disciplines depict the process of the
growing together of the world via different approaches. Apart from
the contributions from historians, the reader will find articles
from the fields of philosophy, architecture, economics, sociology,
political science, journalism, anthropology, and law. This is to
offer the reader a small insight into the variety of research about
globalization and may contribute to a better understanding of this
phenomenon that is treated differently in diverse academic
disciplines and different parts of the world.
