Instigated by Bruno Demoulin, the book 'A cultural history of Wallonia' explores the subject of the Walloon cultural identity. It discusses the numerous forms the Walloon consciousness takes on an artistic, musical and other levels and will be of interest to both the expert in the field and the interested layman.

The second part takes a themed approach to Walloon culture and consists of fascinating essays about language, literature, publications, music, the performing arts, plastic arts, photography and many other aspects which illustrate the diversity of this regions cultural heritage.
Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, Ruhr-University of Bochum, language: English, abstract: A small region in Belgium caused the fear that seven years of negotiation have been done in vain. This event gives rise to many questions. Why was this small region able to veto in the first place? Is this veto justified? And why did the Belgian region Wallonia pass in a veto against the FTA CETA? To answer, especially, the last question, the reader will first be introduced to the political and historical context concerning this situation. With the higher involvement of untraditional trade actors in trade politics mentioned above, a liberal approach is the method most practical for the analysis. Because of the breadth of Andrew Moravcsik's Variants of Liberalism Approach, this theory will be used in the analysis. The conclusion introduces the aftermath of the negotiations, summarises the results and tries to find the answer to the research question.
