What is the European Parliament? Why and how did it come into being? What does it do? What powers does it have and what is its political weight? Where does it stand in relation to the other institutions of the European Union? What goals does it have for Europe and the world and how do these ambitions affect the daily lives of the peoples of Europe? What new challenges is it now facing? Lastly, what is the Parliament doing for you and why should you not miss the chance to vote for your MEP? These are of course just some of the questions which might be asked, but in this brochure we will try to give clear and concise answers to them, answers which will show that ultimately the European Parliament is right next door to you, the citizens of Europe, and represents you every day.

English-Only Europe? explores the role of languages in the process of European integration. Languages are central to the development of an integrated Europe. The way in which the European Union deals with multilingualism has serious implications for both individual member countries and international relations. In this book, Robert Phillipson considers whether the contemporary expansion of English represents a serious threat to other European languages. After exploring the implications of current policies, Phillipson argues the case for more active language policies to safeguard a multilingual Europe. Drawing on examples of countries with explicit language policies such as Canada and South Africa, the book sets out Phillipson's vision of an inclusive language policy for Europe, and describes how it can be attained.
