The text reviews the book by analysing the content of the book itself and providing the context of international scientific research on language and society. The text of the book is analysed sequentially, starting with the introduction and continuing from chapter to chapter. At the end, a conclusion is drawn on the significance of the book for the development of Russian scholarship and for the applied efforts of scholars in the field of language policy. The book raises as its organising principle the key problem of interdisciplinarity in language policy research and represents one of the rare attempts in Russian science to study language policy from the perspective of political science. Such a research perspective is especially relevant in Russia nowadays, when every year new official documents regulating various aspects of language life are developed, from the formulation of conceptual foundations of state policy in this sphere to the approval of language norms and the realisation of other applied aspects. The authors rightly assume that from the point of view of policy effectiveness, one of the main issues is the issue of agency, the plurality of policy actors and the importance of their participation in policy formation.References
