Pokorn University of Ljubljana https://ror.org/05njb9z20 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2152-612X This book stems from the joint effort of 25 research teams across Europe, representing a dozen disciplines from the social sciences and humanities, resulting in a radically novel perspective to the challenges of multilingualism in Europe. The various concepts and tools brought to bear on multilingualism are analytically combined in an integrative framework starting from a core insight: in its approach to multilingualism, Europe is pursuing two equally worthy, but non-converging goals, namely, the mobility of citizens across national boundaries (and hence across languages and cultures) and the preservation of Europe’s diversity, which presupposes that each locale nurtures its linguistic and cultural uniqueness, and has the means to include newcomers in its specific linguistic and cultural environment. In this book, scholars from applied linguistics, economics, the education sciences, finance, geography, history, law, political science, philosophy, psychology, sociology and translation studies apply their specific approaches to this common challenge. Without compromising the state-of-the-art analysis proposed in each chapter, particular attention is devoted to ensuring the cross-disciplinary accessibility of concepts and methods, making this book the most deeply interdisciplinary volume on language policy and planning published to date. 9 1 21 2022 1 3 2022 9789027210159 9789027258274 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/wlp.9 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027258274 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027258274.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/wlp.9/html Edgár Dobos Institute for Minority Studies (Budapest) https://ror.org/05q8jhf15 Noémi Nagy University of Public Service (Budapest) https://ror.org/037b5pv06 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2870-3456 Balázs Vizi Institute for Minority Studies (Budapest) https://ror.org/05q8jhf15 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0764-088X At the intersection of international minority rights law, state policies and local realities Abstract International and internal mobility can result in both linguistic diversity and forced migration due to intended homogenisation efforts (e.g. “ethnic unmixing” in the successor states of former Yugoslavia). International minority rights instruments scarcely address the questions of mobility and multilingualism. Vojvodina is expected to be a multilingual region in Serbia, an EU-candidate state, according to the laws on language use. Recent migratory trends in Vojvodina – within Serbia and from Serbia to Hungary and other EU states – have changed the “identity landscape” of a region that possesses deeply anchored multinational–multilingual traditions. An important question, therefore, is how existing legal provisions on language rights could offer protection to minority language speakers. International actors also promote the respect for and protection of minority language rights, reflected in the broad political and normative commitments made by Serbia within the context of EU-accession process. However, this political objective is often not achieved, a frequently observed obstacle being that local authorities see any attempt at implementing those language rights more as a burden than an opportunity. This chapter addresses questions such as: How is the legal framework implemented in practice ( de iure vs. de facto use of minority languages)? What influence may international norms have on language rights regime? What influence do kin-state policies have? 1 21 2022 1 3 2022 87 108 10.1075/wlp.9.05dob https://benjamins.com/catalog/wlp.9.05dob https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/wlp.9.05dob/html Hegymenet.
