<strong>Theme</strong></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The range of problems raised by diversity of languages in international
economic and political integration processes calls upon innovative,
efficient and fair language policies to manage multilingualism. Language
policies are increasingly acknowledged as being a necessary component
of many decisions taken in the areas of labour mobility, access to
knowledge and higher education, social inclusion of migrants, and they
can affect companies’ international competitiveness and the democratic
control of international organisations.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The symposium "Economics, Linguistic Justice and Language Policy" aims
at bringing together economists, philosophers, applied linguists and
sociolinguists, legal scholars, and social scientists in general. The
purpose is to discuss, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the
socio-economic effects of language policies, the impact of language
dynamics and language planning on justice and inequality at the national
or international level, as well as the connection between democracy,
decision-making and linguistic diversity. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Prospective participants are invited to submit an abstract on one of the following or related topics:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
1. Theoretical models of linguistic justice and linguistic democracy
(e.g. minority languages, immigrants, supranational integration, higher
education).</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
2. Assessment of the socio-economic consequences of linguistic diversity, language policies and dynamics.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
3. Evaluation of the costs, benefits and the fairness of language policies.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
4. Languages, linguistic rights and power.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
5. Multilingualism and economic activities.</div>
