Abstract:
The article reveals the content of the terms “borrowing”, “belgicism”, “regionalism” in the framework of the comparative study of the Belgian version of the French language and the metropolitan French language. The research focuses on the regionalisms in the Belgian version of the French language, which, along with the standard Belgian French, constitute an important part of the vocabulary, have special features in terms of content or expression in comparison with lexis of the metropolitan French language. The author focuses on the contextual analysis of the lexis in the Belgian French and the standard French language in order to identify the lexical and semantic features and dynamics of linguistic processes in the territory of French-speaking Belgium. In the course of the study, dictionaries of regionalisms and belgicisms were used; the main research method is comparative.

Abstract:
Every spoken linguistic system shared by the community in its whole linguistic field has, in addition, structurally related regional variants covering a smaller space; for instance, present-day French soixante-dix of the common norm, has septante as a regionalism in eastern France, Belgium and French Switzerland. This implies that Proto-Romance, the mother tongue of Romance, has also had a common norm with regionalisms; the problem, however, is that the comparative method, the only one enabling us to reconstruct a proto-language, has been conceived for the reconstruction of the common norm only; fortunately, the existence of certain types of regionalisms may nevertheless be proven by means of alternative methods, as the present paper is meant to show

Abstract:
Regionalism denotes social demands in regions for greater autonomy from the central institutions of their state.1 Its bottom-up character sharply distinguishes it from traditional ideas of top-down regional policy.2 National law may respond to such demands with decentralizing reforms. The reforms may entail federalisation, as in Belgium, or asymmetrical devolution, as in the United Kingdom. The legal significance of the responses may be expected to vary depending on whether legislative or merely administrative powers are allocated to regional institutions and on whether legislative powers allocated are entrenched at regional level or merely delegated to regional institutions.3

Abstract:
While globalizing trends stimulate the creation of entirely new regions, established regional and local identities remain. Architectural historians, among others, explore the ways in which regionalism has been — and continues to be — defined and redefined. Current issues in this debate include what regional architectural traditions might be; whether regions can be defined by architecture; and how regional traditions of architecture have been defined and interpreted by artists, authors and scholars. Nineteenth-century Belgian architecture is particularly relevant in this context. The formation of Belgian Art Nouveau’s style and identity have both been the object of numerous studies, but while Art Nouveau is probably the best-known creation of Belgian nineteenth-century architecture, it is hardly the only one, nor indeed the only interesting one. One of the sources identified for Belgian Art Nouveau has been the milieu of the so-called Flemish Renaissance Revival, which produced such architectural gems as Emile Janlet’s (1839–1919) Belgian pavilion at the World Exhibition in Paris (1878) and Jean Winders’ (1849–1936) own house and studio (1882–83) in Antwerp (Fig. 1).

Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between European integration and ethnonational demands with the example of selected regions in the European Union (EU). It follows the theoretical premises of new regionalism and explores the ways in which ethnonational groups use the opportunities and resources of European governance to express their identities, material interests, and political demands. Methodologically, it conducts a plausibility probe of the potential effects of European integration on ethnonationalism by testing for regional differences in identities, interests, and political attitudes. The case studies are drawn from the UK (Wales and Scotland), Belgium (Flanders), Austria (Carinthia and Burgenland), Romania (Northwest and Center regions), and Bulgaria (South-Central and South-Eastern regions) as a representative selection of regional interests in the EU. The paper finds that European integration affects ethnonational groups by reinforcing identity construction in the direction of inclusiveness and diversity. Although regional actors are more supportive of the EU than the European publics in general, they also seek access to representation in the authority structures of the state. Based on these findings, the paper concludes that European integration facilitates a growing public acceptance of its resources, in parallel with persisting allegiances to the nation-state, the community, and ethnoregional distinctiveness.

Abstract:
In this remarkable book, Marie Béatrice Umutesi recounts what she saw and experienced in Rwanda before and during the 1994 genocide, and as a refugee in Zaire after the genocide. With its intense local level perspective, her study provides fresh insights into the Rwanda genocide and its antecedents, the massacre of Rwandan refugees during the war in Zaire of the mid-1990s, and the utter failure of the international media to understand what was happening there on the ground. Eschewing extremism of all sides, Umutesi records the experiences of ordinary people buffeted by violent events and broader political dynamics they could not control. She is a perspicacious observer—astute, courageous, engaged, and compassionate. One of the remarkable features of this narrative, however, is how little Umutesi appears in this text; it is about her experiences, to be sure, but not about “her.” It is as a testimonial to the times and the human experiences of those times that this tale has such force.The initial chapters ofSurviving the Slaughterrecount Umutesi's experiences as a student in the 1970s and mid-1980s and (having completed her university education) as a young adult managing rural development programs. Ethnic distinctions between Hutu and Tutsi held litde importance for Umutesi and her friends while she was growing up. Instead, as a Hutu from the north, she found that regional tensions among Hutu were important during the 1980s, under the Second Republic of Juvenal Habyarimana, when she witnessed regionalism in high school and college in Rwanda. Only later, when studying in Belgium, did ethnic distinctions and discrimination between Hutu and Tutsi come into play. The examples she describes show both the contingent nature of ethnic categorization and identities in Rwanda, and the importance of politics in shaping their salience.

Abstract:
In the 90´s, Europe used to be depicted as the most privileged political arena for regional nationalist political parties to access for “more” political power. In that sense, whereas formal channels of regional interest representation were taken for granted by those standing within federal political systems; informal channels of regional interest representation were highly valued by regional nationalists standing in decentralized or devolutionary constitutional settlements. In spite of nuanced institutional preferences, Europe was rationally inspired (Ostrom 2005) as it used to be perceived as an aggregation of formal-legal structures that could be used as a means to prescribe, proscribe and permit a certain behavior in exchange of a personal utility. Moreover, regional nationalists were policy “maximizers” who acted in isolation, away from the center, using their own limited political resources to maximize their policy gains by pursuing distinctive forms of political autonomy. However, by the end of the 90’s, both categories of regional nationalists plunged into European disillusion due to the limits of a sovereign logic prevailing in Europe.

However, in the 21st century, as soon as a new European policy cycle started to emerge and the economic crisis started to cripple, experienced regional nationalists realized that they could use the benefits of regional economic resources in face of the European Economic strategy to justify further concessions of policy competences that are still shared, either in theory or in practice, as well as to argue for new ones. The political plan would consist of using the reference of the European Economic targets to deliver policies, which would allow them to legitimize their nationalist aspirations, in both layers of governance, as well as to induce regional citizens into their political plan so they can finally reach the legal threshold to endorse a new state reform. Moreover, since they were rationally bounded, in the sense that they were lacking the policy expertise to perform these goals, they have learned to rely on a policy narrative (Shabahan et al 2011; Jones and Beth 2010; Radaelli 2010) embedded in a territorial economic argument to make sense of an advocacy coalition framework (Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith 1993), using informal channels of regional interest intermediation as “cognitive” structures (Scot 1995a) to articulate a policy strategy to be implemented in Europe and at the regional level of governance.

Therefore, and irrespectively of nuanced constitutional settlements, all experienced regional nationalists have returned to the center, using informal channels as an instrument of governance (Salamon 2002) to clarify the best policy options to be implemented in both layers of governance. In other words, regional nationalists have become “policy satisficers” (Simon 1954) who have learned to forgo immediate satisfaction in Europe to collect major gains of political power across multiple layers of governance. If the term “usage” can be defined as the act of using something to achieve certain political goals (Jacquot and Wolf 2003), in this research, we will apply the concept of “usage” to demonstrate that experienced regional nationalists in government have moved from a rational to a cognitive “usage” of the European institutions to perform renewed political preferences across multiple layers of governance.

Departing from an actor centered institutionalist approach (Mayntz and Sharp 1997), we will demonstrate that the N-VA in Flanders, since 2004, and the SNP in Scotland, since 2007, have become new pragmatic nationalists. In that sense, we will argue that, in a clear contrast with pragmatic nationalists of the 90’s who expected to legitimize their nationalist aspirations in Europe by the means of a rational “usage” of the European institutions; experienced regional nationalists have become new pragmatic nationalists as they have learned to rely on a cognitive “usage” of the European institutions to legitimize their nationalist aspirations, no longer in Europe, but through Europe.

We will then conclude that in the 21st century, and against traditional dogmas of the 90’s, the “usage” of Europe by regional nationalists is cognitively twisted, economically driven and collectively performed. It embraces all experienced regional nationalist political parties in government, irrespectively of their constitutional settlement or nationalist credo, as long as they possess the ability to anchor a political strategy embedded in “identity” without sticking to strict politics of nationalism.

Abstract:
Tout au long de ce travail j'ai tente de montrer que la gaule belgique ne correspond pas une region uniforme mais correspond a une mosaique d'entites qui different tant par leur culture materielle que par leur histoire. Cette idee qui commencait a faire son chemin demandait a etre un peu plus detaillee. Pour ce faire j'ai pris en compte les principales donnees archeologiques tant anciennes que recentes, en m'appuyant plus systematiquement sur les fortifications et les sanctuaires, domaines pour lesquels la recharche a livre la plus grande quantite d'elements nouveaux. C'est en alliant les donnees archeologiques avec nos connaissances historiques tirees des textes que l'on peut esperer avoir l'image la plus proche de la realite. En gaule belgique, cinq regions peuvent donc etre definies. Au sud on distingue d'est en ouest, le territoire trevire, installe en particulier sur le bassin hydrographique inferieur de la moselle, le territoire remo-suession, correspondant au bassin hydrographique de l'aisne, et enfin le belgium, englobant l'ouest de la picardie, une partie de la haute-normandie et du nordpas-de-calais. Le nord peut-etre divise en deux territoires : a l'est les germains cisrhenan et les atuatuques et les nerviens, au nord-ouest les morins et les menapes
In the course of this study, i have made an attampt to show that the belgic gaul does not correspond to one uniform region, but to a mosaic of entities, which differ not only from material culture but also from their history. This idea which began to take form needed to be explained in detail. In order to fulfil this task, i took into consideration both old and recent archaeological data, relying systematically on fortification and sanctuaries, a field for which the research had produced an enormous amount of new elements. It is by combining archaeological data with our historical knowledge based on texts that we can hope to obtain an image closest to the reality. Likewise, in belgic gaul five regions can be defined. In the south, from east to west, following regions can be distinguished : the treveri territory, set up mainly in the lower hydrographic basil of the moselle, the remi-suessiones territory, corresponding to the hydrographic basin of the aisne and finally belgium, embodying the west picardy, a part of upper normandy and north pas-de-calais. The north can be divided into two territories : in the east, the germani cisrhenani, the atuatucci and the nervii, and in the north-west the morini and the menapii

Abstract:
Le régionalisme institutionnel est un concept de droit constitutionnel que nous proposons, à la suite d'une analyse de droit comparé, pour traduire au niveau juridique la capacité d'action politique de certaines régions européennes. La Belgique, État fédéral, l'Italie et l'Espagne, États dits régionaux, sont alors les modèles de l'émergence de ce concept constitutionnel, présentant les conditions nécessaires au développement du régionalisme institutionnel, selon des modalités variées. Le Royaume-Uni en présente quant à lui certains éléments, sans que celui-ci puisse être décrit comme une décision politique fondamentale dans cet État. Enfin la France sert de contre-exemple à notre analyse, du fait de son cadre étatique actuel. Nous déterminons les conditions et les modalités du développement du régionalisme institutionnel ainsi que les conséquences de celui-ci sur la notion juridique d'État.

Regional government has become a fashionable topic of analysis, but the impact of regional autonomy on public policy has so far received little attention. In this book, Stefaan De Rynck examines how the creation of regional government has affected the substance of public policies in Belgium. He explains the observed pattern of policy change by referring to shifts in regional power structures. His publication offers a political analysis of policy change, and warns against concluding that public policy is responsive to social problems or cultural differences between regional societies. The book demonstrates the importance of political action for understanding the link between political institutions and policy change. In its case-studies, Changing Public Policy: The Role of the Regions focuses on the development of education and agri-environmental policy in Flanders and Wallonia since 1988, the year in which competence for these sectors was transferred from the national to the regional level. The research material on the policy cases covers a twelve-year period. It is based on a wide range o interviews and extensive documentary analysis.
