Minority Languages in the Linguistic Landscape provides an innovative approach to the written displays of minority languages in public space. It explores minority language situations through the lens of linguistic landscape research. Based on very tangible data it explores the 'same old issues' of language contact and language conflict in new ways. It deepens our understanding of language policies, power relations and ideologies. The chapters cover a wide geographic area, ranging from Sami in the far North, to Basque, Catalan and Corsican in the South. From the town of Dingle on the West coast of Ireland to the cities of Kiev and Chisinau in the East of Europe, including the contrasting cases of Israel and Brunei. Combining theoretical approaches from various disciplines to provide a framework which connects real bottom-up data with more abstract research on minority languages, this book will be useful for researchers and students in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and policy sciences, as well as for policy makers.

Domestic Security is the primary mission of the DoD. Yet domestic catastrophe's (whether natural disaster or CBRNE events) occur at a local level and are the responsibility of the state's governor. This paper suggests gaps exist between federal and state capacity when crises occur, and a method of bridging these gaps is through an Initial Response Hub (IRH). The IRH is activated by the governor, yet allows the governor to maintain control of his state's crisis up to the point that federal agencies are needed. The IRH provides timely capacity at the state level and assists the federal government should they be requested.
