This publication is based on a study that was prepared for the Secretariat of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages to inform the future application of those provisions of the charter relating to the media. At the charter secretariat it was felt that it would be appropriate to make this study accessible to a wider audience, in order to assist in the application of these charter provisions. In particular, it is hoped that this publication will be useful to governments which have signed and ratified, or are considering signature and ratification, of the charter, in order to better understand some of its obligations; to public servants charged with the task of implementing such obligations; to users of regional or minority languages, and those non-governmental organisations which represent them, in assessing the choice of obligations and the challenges of implementation; and to a broader public interested in these issues, not least media outlets themselves, which play no small part in the successful implementation of charter obligations.

This book proposes an innovative treatment of minority language policies, by looking at them as policy options that can be methodically evaluated. The author applies the analytical concepts and technical tools of policy analysis to guide the reader through a step-by-step application of notions such as effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, with particular reference to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. The thrust of this book is deeply interdisciplinary, and links the evaluation exercise to sociolinguistic, political and legal considerations.
