The Emancipation of Europe's Muslims

The Emancipation of Europe's Muslims traces how governments across Western Europe have responded to the growing presence of Muslim immigrants in their countries over the past fifty years. Drawing on hundreds of in-depth interviews with government officials and religious leaders in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Morocco, and Turkey, Jonathan Laurence challenges the widespread notion that Europe’s Muslim minorities represent a threat to liberal democracy. He documents how European governments in the 1970s and 1980s excluded Islam from domestic institutions, instead inviting foreign powers like Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Turkey to oversee the practice of Islam am...

L'enseignement des langues étrangères dans les pays de l'Union européenne

Si, au fur et a mesure que l'Union Europeenne s'elargit et son importance au niveau mondial s'accroit aussi bien du point de vue territorial que demographique, economique et politique, l'introduction de nouvelles langues officielles pose un probleme linguistique majeur; celui de la communication entre Etats, entre citoyens. L'Union Europeenne, en decidant de garder onze langues officielles, a fait le pari de la complementarite des langues, le pari de la diversite. Mais, l'option de la diversite a aussi ses exigences.

National, Regional and Minority Languages in Europe

  • Publisher: Peter Lang

The European linguistic diversity goes far beyond the official national languages of the present 27 member states of the European Union. In every country several languages of smaller or larger groups of speakers are used besides the official language or the languages of the majority population. These languages are autochthonous languages that have been used for a long time in the individual country as well as allochthonous languages of different groups of migrants and their descendants. The sometimes complicated relations between national, regional and minority languages within various countries are discussed in this volume. Besides reports on several countries, the general sociolinguistic and legal conditions are dealt with in overview contributions. In addition, the Dublin Declaration on the relationship between official languages and regional and minority languages in Europe is presented in 24 languages.
