    Conclusion: The Future of Belgian FederalismBetween Reform and Swansong?
    in Regional and Federal Studies , volume 23 n.3 ,  2013 ,  369-382
    This article summarizes the main arguments of the special issue. It also probes into the deficiencies of the Belgian federal system and argues that the most recent crisis of Belgian federalism (200711) is not the result of rising socio-economic differences between Flanders and Wallonia, but the consequence of building a bipolar federation on to a split party system. The article concludes by identifying some potential roadmaps (federal reform, confederalism, and the referendum) for the future.
