Language, education policy and transformation in Central and Eastern Europe

This introductory paper emphasises the importance of sustained inter disciplinary engagement and context sensitivity for a holistic approach to policy studies. It introduces a model on possible perspectives that can be adopted in researching (language education) policy actions in different contexts. It proposes that questions on the transferability of models need to focus on the specificity of sociocultural histories and practices that have been shaped by past hegemonies and are directly related to complex (and often not uncontested) processes of nation‐building and the politics of identity formation. These suggestions are put forward with a focus on language and education policy developments in selected settings of Central and Eastern Europe.
