Current Issues in Language Planning presents language planning concerns from two perspectives: polities and issues. Normally, two numbers each year undertake to describe the language planning situation in various polities around the world, with preference given to polities that are not represented or are under-represented in the literature.
The other two numbers each year focus on larger cross-polity language planning problems. The overall objective of the journal in total is to review, consolidate and build on the current literature to move toward an understanding and a viable theory of language planning.
