This book explores the political ideas of the Belgian Revolution of
1830, which led to the break-up of the Restoration state of the
'united' Kingdom of the Netherlands. It uncovers the origins of
liberalism and political Catholicism in the Southern Netherlands in
the wake of the French Revolution, and traces the development of
political language in the context of the tensions between the
Northern and Southern part of the united Netherlands. It shows how
differences in 'Dutch' and 'Belgian' political and intellectual
history resulted in different understandings of essential political
concepts such as 'sovereignty' and 'balance of powers', as well as
of the nature of the constitutional order of 1815. Finally, it
traces the emergence of Belgian nationalism within the discourse of
opposition against the government. Stefaan Marteel therefore
provides a fresh perspective on the intellectual background of the
rise of the nation-state in the nineteenth century.
