Socio-economic instruments for regulating the language situation in the context of geopolitical changes: a study of international cases

Abstract

The article examines socio-economic instruments for regulating the language situation in the context of geopolitical changes, using the example of countries with a multilingual population, such as Canada, Switzerland, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, etc.

To assess the effectiveness of language policy, comparative analysis and case study methods were used, which allows us to identify best practices and adapt them to other countries. The relevance of the study is justified by the need to develop effective mechanisms for language regulation in the context of globalization, migration and changing geopolitical realities.

The article examines various models of language policy (bilingualism, multilingualism, assimilation) and their impact on social integration, economic mobility and national identity. The comparative approach allows not only to analyze the current state of language policies in these countries, but also to propose mechanisms that can be used to improve the regulation of language relations in Kazakhstan and other countries with a multilingual population.

Key words: language policy, multilingualism, socio-economic instruments, social integration, national identity.
