Globalizing Language Policy and Planning cover

The book examines the changing relationship between minority languages and language policy and planning in the context of globalization, through an examination of the Irish language context. It demonstrates how localized practices are involved in the refashioning of the value of the Irish language.

“The author highlights how the use of Irish in these domains, which are deeply embedded in the complex processes of information exchange and human mobility that characterise globalization … . Moriarty’s book also contributes to current scholarly debates in language policy. … this is an area deserving of more conceptual effort in general in language policy.” (Kristof Savski, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 18 (3), 2019)
