Language policy and planning, institutions and neoliberalization

Abstract:	This chapter addresses issues of language policy and planning in the neoliberalising institutional spaces of late modernity. Institutions are conceptualised as interested spaces of control and selection that work to buttress the socioeconomic and political agendas of the dominant classes in ways which appear open, meritocratic or simply commonsensical. The chapter argues for the need to understand the conditions, constraints and possibilities of language policy in specific institutional locales and their entanglement with the socioeconomic, political and moral orders of neoliberalism. The chapter maps out the research undertaken in three key institutional domains, and the workplace, education and the non-governmental sector, where the influx of the commodifying, economicist ethos of neoliberalism has legitimised particular forms of citizenship and identity effected in and through implicit or explicit language policy. The chapter ends by identifying research gaps and suggesting directions for future research in this field.
