Le conflit communautaire belge entre contingence identitaire et déterminisme historique | ||
in Revue française de science politique , Vol. 62, n. 2, avril , 2012 , 231-254 | ||
In the context of the communal relationships in Belgium, the evocation of the causes of the past is a common place in the analysis of the tensions and conflicts that mark out these relations. The adoption of a framework of analysis of path dependence elaborated in the field of historical sociology allows to test and precise the affirmation that Belgian past shapes the conflictual present. The recourse to this theoretical and methodological scaffold is intended to explain, by following the evolution of a historical trajectory initiated at the end of the nineteenth century, the regular conflicts and the model of increasing autonomy that characterize Belgian political scene. | ||
