Abstract

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.
