<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Since the beginning of the European integration
process, the principle of a multilingual language regime for the European
community has been enacted by the different member states. In 1958, the
European Economic Community adopted a regulation making Dutch, French, German
and Italian its official languages. Over the last decades, the subsequent
enlargements have led to increase the number of official languages to 24 in order
to allow for the EU to communicate directly with its citizens in their own
language. Despite the repeatedly renewed commitment to multilingualism expressed
by the different European institutions, the increase of the number of official
languages has led to strengthen the position of English not only as working
language inside the institutions, but also as <i>lingua franca</i> allowing communication between the citizens of the
different member states. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">In the eye of this evolution, our panels seek
to address the question of the future for multilingualism in the EU. Bringing
together perspectives from different subfields of political science, such as
political sociology, public policy analysis, political economy and political
theory, presentations will investigate and sketch out the conditions of
possibility of maintaining a multilingual language regime in the EU: What
implications does the commitment to multilingualism entail on the level of
different policy sectors, such as translation and language education, and in
terms of costs? To what extent does the choice of a multilingual language
regime benefit from support by the citizens of the EU and the different
political elites? Panels will more largely seek to organize a lively debate between
defenders of multilingualism and supporters of an “English only”– by fact or by
choice – language regime. </span></p>
