| book description |
This book examines language policy in Switzerland to explore how multilingualism is organized, governed, and experienced in everyday life. Focusing on education and public institutions, it shows how a system widely praised for managing linguistic diversity also produces tensions, hierarchies, and unequal forms of participation. Drawing on policy documents and interviews with educators and policymakers, the book traces how federalism, territoriality, and ideas of linguistic equality shape language practices across regions. The chapters examine the growing role of English, the marginalization of heritage languages, and the gap between symbolic recognition and meaningful inclusion. Situating the Swiss case within broader debates on language policy, migration, and social cohesion, the book speaks to scholars, students, and practitioners interested in multilingualism, education policy, and democratic governance.
