The theoretical perspectives are then applied to case studies from North America and Europe. Comparisons are made between language policies in the United States and Canada,and these are further contrasted with the policies being implemented in Europe. The presentation concludes with an analysis of the situation in the former Yugoslavia especially regarding matters of linguistic reciprocity across new national boundaries in the Balkan region.
