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.
