- Abstract
- Until about 1900, the migratory outcome for Belgium was negative and the authorities only legislated on issues related to the protection of candidates who wished to emigrate and the control of foreigners present in the country in relatively limited numbers. The trend was reversed in the 20th century, especially between the two World Wars and after the Second World War. An immigration policy, intimately linked first to economic concerns, then demographic, and lastly to integration was progressively set up. During the last decades, political authorities privileged naturalisation as a means of integration. © 2010 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved.
