Abstract:

"The Politics of English: Conflict, Competition, Co-existence" explores 
policies and practices that affect the use and position of English. 

The book discusses the ways in which people's language choices relate to 
the history, politics, and economies of their local context. Throughout, the 
focus is on the international nature of English and its use alongside other 
languages in a range of contexts. 

The book covers topical issues including the role that English plays in 
shaping migratory patterns, the English teaching and publishing industries, 
and the dominance of English in the global media. Key theoretical concepts 
are introduced in an accessible manner, and readers are given an in-depth 
understanding of the roles that English and other languages play as people 
mediate relationships of competition, conflict and co-existence in today's 
globalized world.

Drawing on the latest research and The Open University's wide experience of 
writing accessible and innovative texts, this book:

-explains basic concepts and assumes no previous study of English or 
linguistics

-contains a range of source material and commissioned readings to 
supplement chapters

-includes contributions from leading experts in their fields including Mona 
Baker, Jan Blommaert, Deborah Cameron, Guy Cook, John Gray, Frank 
Monaghan and Naz Rassool

-has an international scope, encompassing examples and case studies from 
the UK, the USA, Europe, Asia, and Africa

-is illustrated in full color and includes a comprehensive index.

"The Politics of English: Conflict, Competition, Co-existence" is essential 
reading for students of English language studies, and cultural and 
international studies.
