Editorial Reviews

"This collection of explorations of 'The Language Question' ... in the European Union is a welcome addition to a growing body of scholarship on related topics ... The chapters are largely complementary in their approaches, thereby ensuring a genuinely multidimensional treatment of the book's subject matter.
A book that ... provides plenty of food for thought and direction for future research." --European Public Law, Volume 16 Issue 2
