Conclusion: Standardizing Diversity --$tNotes --$tReferences --$tIndex --$tAcknowledgments 330 $aLanguages have deep political significance beyond communication: a common language can strengthen cultural bonds and social trust, or it may exacerbate cultural differences and power imbalances. Language regimes that emerge from political bargains can centralize power by favoring the language of one ethnolinguistic group, share power by recognizing multiple mother tongues, or neutralize power through the use of a lingua franca. Cultural egoism, communicative efficiency, or collective equality determines the choice. As Amy H. Liu demonstrates, the conditions surrounding the choice of a language regime also have a number of implications for a nation's economy. Standardizing Diversity examines the relationship between the distribution of linguistic power and economic growth. Using a newly assembled dataset of all language-in-education policies in Asia from 1945 to 2005 and drawing on fieldwork data from Malaysia and Singapore, Liu shows language regimes that recognize a lingua franca exclusively-or at least above all others-tend to develop social trust, attract foreign investment, and stimulate economic growth. Particularly at high levels of heterogeneity, the recognition of a lingua franca fosters equality and facilitates efficiency. Her findings challenge the prevailing belief that linguistic diversity inhibits economic growth, suggesting instead that governments in even the most ethnically heterogeneous countries have institutional tools to standardize their diversity and to thrive economically. 606 $aLanguage policy$xEconomic aspects$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aLanguage policy$xPolitical aspects 606 $aLanguage policy$xEconomic aspects 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aPhilology & Linguistics$2HILCC 615 0$aLanguage policy$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aLanguage policy$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aLanguage policy$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aLanguage and languages 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aPhilology & Linguistics 676 $a306.44/9598 700 $aLiu$b Amy H.$01033599 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460604503321 996 $aStandardizing Diversity$92452236 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03725nam 22008534a 450 001 9910969873203321 005 20251116175635.0 010 $a1-134-42822-7 010 $a1-280-22680-3 010 $a9786610226801 010 $a0-203-48847-4 035 $a(CKB)1000000000250999 035 $a(EBL)182455 035 $a(OCoLC)437055325 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000181385 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11165662 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000181385 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10159514 035 $a(PQKB)10225808 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC182455 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL182455 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10165310 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL22680 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000250999 100 $a20030912d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aInternational labor mobility $eunemployment and increasing returns to scale /$fBharati Basu 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aLondon ;$aNew York $cRoutledge$d2004 215 $a1 online resource (200 p.) 225 1 $aRoutledge studies in the modern world economy ;$v46 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-415-65525-0 311 08$a0-415-29825-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

The discussion also includes the issue of foreign workers' effects on unemployment levels - a salient issue in today's climate.With impressive clarity 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the modern world economy ;$v46. 606 $aLabor mobility 606 $aUnemployment 606 $aForeign workers 606 $aManpower policy 606 $aForeign trade and employment 606 $aEconomies of scale 606 $aLabor mobility$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aArbeidsmobiliteit$2gtt 606 $aWerkloosheid$2gtt 606 $aInternationalisatie$2gtt 606 $aEconomische modellen$2gtt 615 0$aLabor mobility. 615 0$aUnemployment. 615 0$aForeign workers. 615 0$aManpower policy. 615 0$aForeign trade and employment. 615 0$aEconomies of scale. 615 0$aLabor mobility 615 17$aArbeidsmobiliteit. 615 17$aWerkloosheid. 615 17$aInternationalisatie. 615 17$aEconomische modellen. 676 $a331.12/791 700 $aBasu$b Bharati$f1950-$0630321 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969873203321 996 $aInternational labor mobility$938680 997 $aUNINA
