Im Gegensatz zu schon vorliegenden Bänden geht es in diesem umfassenden, inhaltlich strukturierten Themenband durchgehend um Fördermöglichkeiten von Deutsch als Fremdsprache und Germanistik sowie Möglichkeiten der Stellungstärkung der deutschen Sprache. Dabei wird auch Bezug genommen auf Deutsch als Zweit- und als Muttersprache, soweit es für das jeweilige Thema oder Land relevant ist. Die insgesamt 57 Beiträge sind gegliedert in zwei Teile, von denen sich der erste (30 Beiträge) mit allgemeinen, übergreifenden Fragen befasst und der zweite mit nationalen und regionalen Besonderheiten. Dabei bilden die Fördermöglichkeiten jeweils die Leitfrage, die so umsichtig und präzise wie möglich beantwortet wird - bei allerdings möglichst klarer und ungeschminkter Darstellung von Unsicherheiten und Unwägbarkeiten. In den nations- oder regionsspezifischen Beiträgen werden die wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zu den deutschsprachigen Ländern, einschließlich Tourismus, wie auch die konkurrierenden Fremdsprachen und die örtliche Fremdsprachenpolitik in die Analysen einbezogen. Alle Beiträge thematisieren auch, im Rahmen von Mehrsprachigkeitskonzepten, Fragen der Fairness gegenüber anderen Sprachen, sowohl den konkurrierenden internationalen als auch den nationalen oder subnationalen Sprachen - wobei die Fairness letztlich die Sprachgemeinschaften (nicht die Sprachen) betrifft. Bei den Förderungsvorschlägen kommen vor allem folgende Möglichkeiten in Betracht: Verstärkung von Beziehungen zu Unternehmen/Hochschulen/Schulen aus den deutschsprachigen Ländern, zu deren politischen Instanzen (Botschaften, Konsulaten) und Förderinstitutionen (z. B. Goethe-Institute, Österreich Institute), Aufzeigen von Beruf- und Bildungschancen, Stärkung von Lern- und Studienmotivation, Verbesserungen curricularer Regelungen und schulischer Verhältnisse, der Bildung von Lehrern und Hochschullehrern sowie der didaktisch-methodischen Qualität von Unterricht und Lehre. The essays all relate to potential ways to promote German as a foreign language and German studies, and to boost the status of the German language worldwide. At the same time, they consider concepts of multilingualism in the context of fairness to other language communities. The first part of the book examines general, broad aspects while the second part focuses on national and regional particularities.

Over the last 50 years, language policy has developed into a major discipline, drawing on research and practice in many nations and at many levels. This is the first Handbook to deal with language policy as a whole and is a complete 'state-of-the-field' survey, covering language practices, beliefs about language varieties, and methods and agencies for language management. It provides a historical background which traces the development of classical language planning, describes activities associated with indigenous and endangered languages, and contains chapters on imperialism, colonialism, effects of migration and globalization, and educational policy. It also evaluates language management agencies, analyzes language activism and looks at language cultivation (including reform of writing systems, orthography and modernized terminology). The definitive guide to the subject, it will be welcomed by students, researchers and language professionals in linguistics, education and politics.
