Fighting words : language policy and ethnic relations in Asia / edited by Michael Brown and Sumit Ganguly - Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 2003 - xi, 480 p. - BCSIA studies in international security .

Language policies can lead to resentment and even internal conflicts in countries that have more than one language. This book looks at how the issue has been approached in countries in south, east, and Southeast Asia. Each national (or in some cases bi-national e.g. Malaysia and Singapore) study is concluded by an assessment of the impact of the policy and suggestions for improvements.
