This book contributes to the growing field of foreign language teaching and testing by shedding light on mediation between languages. Stathopoulou offers an empirically-grounded definition of mediation as a form of translanguaging and offers tools and methods for further research in multilingual testing. The book explores what cross-language mediation entails, what processes and strategies are involved, and the challenges often faced by mediators. As well as stressing the importance of administering tests which favour cross-language mediation practices, the author encourages the implementation of language programmes which promote the mingling-of-languages idea and target the development of language learners’ effective translanguaging practices. Researchers studying translanguaging, multilingualism, multilingual testing and the use of mother tongue in the foreign language classroom will all find this book of interest.

La presente obra se adelanta y profundiza en una visión sistémica, plural e internacional de los métodos alternos de solución de conflictos, destacando el impacto social que producen en unas sociedades como las contemporáneas, complejas y difíciles en muchos aspectos. Nuestra sociedad ha de tomar conciencia de que existen otros métodos distintos a la vía judicial para resolver sus conflictos, lo que requiere un profundo cambio donde situamos a la paz y a los MASC considerando que su implementación y puesta en marcha suponen una modificación disruptiva en la impartición de justicia y en la construcción de una nueva realidad social, de "una nueva cultura". De ahí que, en la actualidad, cobre pleno sentido el conocimiento y la aplicación de estos métodos de justicia alternativa como instrumentos al servicio de la paz en el camino para lograr una mayor y eficaz justicia en las relaciones jurídicas, sociales y políticas. No hay camino para la paz; la paz es el camino.

In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their place in the aftermath of financial and economic crisis. This book interrogates what impacts--if any--this global protest cycle had on politics and policy and shows the sometimes unintended ways it continues to influence contemporary political dynamics throughout the world. Proposing a new framework of analysis that calls attention to the content and claims of protests, their global connections, and the responsiveness of political institutions to protest demands, this is one of the few books that not only asks how protest movements are formed but also provides an in-depth examination of what protest movements can accomplish. With contributions examining the political consequences of protest, the roles of social media and the internet in protest organization, left- and right-wing movements in the United States, Chile's student movements, the Arab Uprisings, and much more this collection is essential reading for all those interested in the power of protest to shape our world.
