Solidarity in Belgium. History of its legal implementation between individuals and between territories

This project aims to analyze the evolution of the legal implementation of solidarity between territories and between individuals in Belgium. The main objectives are descriptive and analytical. I will report on and analyze the evolution of the legal implementation of solidarity between individuals and between territories (municipalities, provinces, communities, regions and the federal state) in Belgium. One of my interests is to target the political, social and economic contexts that have been favorable or, on the contrary, unfavorable to the development of interpersonal and interterritorial solidarity. My other concerns are to analyze the legal implementation of so-called solidarity mechanisms, to trace their evolution over time and, finally, to measure their financial importance over time.
