Bilingual Higher Education in the Legal Context: Group Rights, State Policies and Globalisation: Studies in International Minority and Group Rights, cartea 2

Editat de Xabier Arzoz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 feb 2012
This book is devoted to complex questions of building and developing legal education in more than one language, through two state languages (French and Dutch in Belgium, German and French in Switzerland, English and French in Canada, Finnish and Swedish in Finland) and/or through the medium of minority or lesser used languages (Basque, Galician, Catalan, Welsh, Romanian). Some states have a long and well-established tradition of bilingual legal education; others have only recently started to develop a legal education system through non-dominant languages; finally, in some other cases only partial bilingual legal education obtains, rather than a fuller model. The volume purports to examine best practices and to draw useful lessons from the experiences of other bilingual societies.

Recenzii

"The book is useful for a variety of readers interested in the topic of linguistic diversity, such as scholars researching language law in the field of education, and those interested in building and developing institutions of higher education dealing with language issues – as this may become
a widespread concern, especially with the emergence of English as a lingua franca and the aforementioned expectations about Europeanization and internationalization of educational institutions. It is rarely possible to consider all the aspects of a new field of research. The greatest contribution of this anthology may be indeed to have structured for the first time some vital concerns about language policy in higher education institutions. For that alone, this book is definitively worth reading."
Silvia Adamo, Common Market Law Review, vol. 50 (2013), Issue 2, pp. 656-659.

"...Dieser Zwiespalt zwischen der Forderung nach (und der effektiven Notwendigkeit an) einer wirksamen juristischen Mehrsprachigkeit in weiten Teilen Europas und den gleichzeitigen Grenzen der Realisierbarkeit dieses Vorhabens wird weiter bestehen und mit der wachsenden Sensibilität für ein „gerechtes Verfahren“ einerseits und die Entwicklung einer echten europäischen Rechtskultur andererseits auch weiter zunehmen. Diesen Konflikt zu verstehen und vielleicht auch in Ansätzen zu beheben, bedarf es detaillierter Studien. Der von Xabier Arzoz herausgegebene Band kann dazu eine wichtige Pionierrolle erfüllen."
Peter Hilpold, Europa Ethnica, 70th Volume, 3/4 2013, page 121.

"In all, the volume is rich in analysis and covers a multitude of scenarios (including non-European ones) and expands existing knowledge in this under-researched topic within the field of minority language rights. The initiative of Arzoz is therefore highly welcome."
