Two deep rooted tendencies in Australian political and social life, multiculturalism and Asian regionalism, are represented as key phases in the country’s experimentation with language education planning. Presenting data from a five year ethnographic study combined with a 40 year span of policy analysis, this volume is a rare book length treatment of the chasm between imagined policy and its experienced delivery, and will provide insights that policymakers around the world can draw on UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781783090051 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781783090051 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781783090051/original ER -
