Abstract and Keywords

This chapter draws critical security studies into the investigation of
language policy for two reasons. First, it provides informative commentary
on how the concept of security is being reconfigured, with developments in
digital technology, large-scale population movements, and the privatisation
of public services. Second, it is increasingly attentive to how geopolitics
permeates the everyday. Accordingly, critical security studies can generate
considerable scope for connection with research on language in society.
This chapter provides two case studies of security and language policy in
which “enemy” and “fear” have been active principles in language policy
development. The first case shows how security has become an increasingly
influential theme in the United Kingdom. The second case, focusing on
Cyprus, describes how legacies of large-scale violent conflict can generate
rather unexpected ground-level enactments of language education policy.
