In this book, John O'Regan examines the role of political economy
in the worldwide spread of English and traces the origins and
development of the dominance of English to the endless accumulation
of capital in a capitalist world-system. O'Regan combines Marxist
perspectives of capital accumulation with world-systems analysis,
international political economy, and studies of imperialism and
empire to present a historical account of the 'free riding' of
English upon the global capital networks of the capitalist
world-system. Relevant disciplinary perspectives on global English
are examined in this light, including superdiversity,
translanguaging, translingual practice, trans-spatiality, language
commodification, World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca.
Global English and Political Economy presents an original
historical and interdisciplinary interpretation of the global
ascent of English, while also raising important theoretical and
practical questions for perspectives which suggest that the time of
the traditional models of English is past. Providing an
introduction to key theoretical perspectives in political economy,
this book is essential reading for advanced students and
researchers in applied linguistics, World Englishes and related
fields of study.
