LANGUAGE POLICY AND LINGUISTIC JUSTICE GEBUNDEN

Language policies are increasingly acknowledged as being a necessary component of many
decisions taken in the areas of the labor market  education  minority languages  mobility  and
social inclusion of migrants. They can affect the democratic control of political organizations
and they can either entrench or reduce inequalities. These are the central topics of this book.
Economists  philosophers  political scientists  and sociolinguists discuss ¿ from an
interdisciplinary perspective ¿ the distributive socio-economic effects of language policies 
their impact on justice and inequality at the national or international level  as well as the
connection between language choices and an inclusive access to public services. The range of
social and economic issues raised by linguistic diversity in contemporary societies is large 
and this requires new approaches to tackle them. This book provides new input to design better
more efficient  and fair language policies in order to manage linguistic diversity in different
areas. Topics covered include: theoretical models of linguistic justice and linguistic
disadvantage  the assessment of the socio-economic consequences of language policies  the
evaluation of the costs  benefits  and degree of inclusion of language planning measures  the
politics of migrants¿ linguistic integration  as well as multilingualism and economic
activities. These topics are discussed in different contexts  including the areas inhabited by
linguistic minorities  cities receiving migrants  and supranational organizations.
