Fiscal Federalism in Belgium

Belgian federalism is an evolving federalism and any portrait of it is nothing more than the representation of a temporary, often precarious balance, on a course whose outcome is uncertain. It is, therefore, necessary to situate the present in this movement and I will begin this study with a necessary historic overview of the entities that now comprise this distinctive federation called Belgium. Next, I will present this original experience and examine the devolution of fields of jurisdiction and the elaboration of the means used.
