Linguistic Diversity and European Democracy

By Anne Lise Kjr, Silvia Adamo, Anne Lise Kjær

What role does linguistic diversity play in European democratic and legal processes? Is it an obstacle to deliberative democracy and a hindrance to legal certainty and the possibility of uniform law, or a cultural and economic asset and a prerequisite for the free movement of citizens? This book examines the tensions and contradictions of European language laws and policy from a multi-disciplinary perspective and is a valuable resource for academics and researchers in the areas of European law, legal theory and language.
