The book delves into the recycled discourses of language and nationalism in Finnish higher education, emphasizing the importance of examining language beyond its mere presence in the study of language policies in higher education. It conducts a comprehensive analysis of the historical and political intricacies of language policies, highlighting their interconnectedness with national and international developments in understanding new nationalism. Until the 2000s, the dynamics and tensions between the national languages Finnish and Swedish fueled the language policies in Finnish higher education. However, English began to catalyze post-nationalist discourses of economy and competitiveness during this period. In the 2010s, English started to be perceived as a threat to Finnish, leading to the emergence of educational, economic, and epistemic nationalism as the primary cycles of new nationalist language policies in Finnish higher education.
This book holds significant appeal to scholars and practitioners in language policy and higher education, as well as graduate students specializing in language policy and higher education. Its insights shed light on the evolving dynamics of language policies and their implications for the broader academic community. By exploring the intersections of language, nationalism, and higher education, the book offers valuable perspectives and methodologies for understanding the complex interplay between these factors in contemporary societies.
