- Title

- Authors
Mnookin, Robert; Verbeke, Alain
- Abstract
The article discusses the current dilemma of Belgium in line with the tensions caused by a linguistic divide between the Walloons and the Flemish. To introduce the history of Belgium, it presented a marriage metaphor that would best represent the country's situations. It also explores the complex structure of the political institution of Belgium used to respond to a set of persistent problems. Likewise, it suggests that Belgium's future lies on a cooperative pattern of communication.
