Looking back on fifteen years of FCC policy (1989‑2004)

Abstract

This contribution is a first impetus to explain the policy of the Flemish Community Commission during the period 1989‑2004. To this end the discourse of the main actors is analysed, i.e. the ministers who together form the Board and the members of parliament who have a seat in the Council. The Policy statements and the minutes of the meeting are the basis of this analysis. This literature provides interesting information about how the main actors perceive the institution, its functions and its place in the Brussels model, and mainly the way how they want to interpret their social-cultural powers and the values that play a role in all this.
