LANGUAGE POLICY AND POLITICAL THEORY GEBUNDEN

Contemporary debates on immigration  multiculturalism  nationalism  and linguistic rights often
find language policy scholars and political philosophers at odds. This book aims to assess the
obstacles and build bridges between scholars of language policy and political theory with
chapters by Stephen May  Ronald Schmidt  Jr.  Daniel Weinstock  Thomas Ricento  Yael Peled and
Peter Ives. Along with an introduction by the editors  the chapters map out the contours of the
debates and potential contributions that political theory can make to language policy and
vice-versa. The book offers an appraisal of current research  areas of contestation and a
framework for future interdisciplinary inquiry on the complex interface between language  power
and ethics. This collection will be useful for scholars from diverse disciplinary perspectives
with interests in contemporary societal debates in which language plays an important-even
central-role.Previously published in Language Policy  Volume 13  Issue 4  2014
