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
