4. Role of government of
Belgium
. Community government is elected by people belonging to one language
community—Dutch, French and German speaking, no matter where they
live.
. This government has the power relating to culture, education and language
issues.
. This kind of government helped to avoid civic strife between the two major
communities.
5. Struggle For Power
The Dutch community in Belgium, could take
advantage of its numeric majority and force
its will on the French and German-speaking
population. This would aggravate the
conflict among the communities further and
may lead to a partition of the country with
both the sides claiming control over
Brussels.

Problems
Belgium solved its problem
successfully by:
Developing the power-sharing mechanism
Rejecting the policy of majoritarianism
Respecting the interests of different
communities
