Language Policy beyond the State invites readers to (re-)consider
the ways language policy is constituted, taken up, and researched
if we look within and past the state. Contributors to this edited
volume draw attention to language policy as always in the making,
focusing on agency, on-the-ground practices, and ideologies. The
chapters of the book reveal how simultaneous, and at times
contradicting, language policies exist within a state and explore
the complex roles played by families, businesses, educational
institutions, and media in generating and appropriating these
policies. By moving away from language policy analysis concerned
primarily with how official state policies address well-defined
language problems, some of the contributions of the volume
highlight how the problems themselves can be ideological artifacts
or are discursively constructed in language ideological debates
that are provoked by changes in the geopolitical situation in the
region. Using qualitative and descriptive research, the book uses
Estonia as a setting to examine the ways historic and contemporary
populations navigate language policies in both local and
transnational spaces. As a whole, the collection speaks eloquently
and powerfully to current efforts to understand and map the ways
multiple institutions and individuals-not just the state-play an
active role in forming and taking up language policies.
