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.
This book investigates neoliberalism in education and explains how
it is a complex phenomenon which takes on local characteristics in
diverse geopolitical, economic and cultural settings, while
retaining a core commitment in all its manifestations to market
fundamentalism. Neoliberalism - that set of beliefs and practices
which has become the economic orthodoxy of global preference since
the 1980s - appears remarkably resilient despite the US financial
crisis of 2008 and the subsequent implementation of austerity in
the massively indebted nations of the European Union. This book
addresses the phenomenon of neoliberalism in education and focuses
on school and higher education settings in Ireland, the UK,
Singapore and Hong Kong. Specifically, it addresses the role of
language and semiosis in the reconfiguration of global educational
practices along increasingly marketised lines. At the same time,
the nature of the counter-hegemonic discourses also in circulation
in these sectors is also considered. Collectively, the chapters in
the book seek to shed light on the possibilities for resistance and
the prospect of change from a variety of theoretical and
(inter)cultural perspective. The chapters in this book were
originally published in a special issue of the journal, Language
and Intercultural Communication.
