About this book
Reviews
“This penetrating critique unpacks the ideological and socio-political implications of the EU’s ‘Unity in Diversity’ programme by challenging deep-seated conceptions which underlie the relationship between the EU and the nation state. Characterized by rich conceptual clarity and scholarly reasoning it tells us as much about the why as the how of liberal democracy’s dealings with language-related issues in the fields of education, governance, justice and politics. Ultimately it carries a profound message for the normative interpretation of the citizen as a constructed subject within the discursive context of the state’s and region’s hegemony.” (Colin H. Williams, Professor, Cardiff University, UK)
