    Political careers in Belgium: an example of the integrated career model
    in Fédéralisme Régionalisme , Volume 10 - Varia ,  2010
    Several countries have undergone a regionalization in recent years followed by a professionalization of regional politics.

In this article it is argued that the Belgian regions of Flanders and Wallonia are both examples of the ‘integrated careers’ ideal type since the introduction of directly elected regional parliaments in 1995. Level-hopping data (1995-2010) show that there is one integrated career arena and that there is no dominant direction towards the national level.
