Abstract

In this article, the author proposes a reflection on the language choices of certain countries and on the attempts of external intervention in these choices. It is a text of pedagogical character that can be used in language policy courses to initiate a discussion on the arbitrariness of power, the role of international experts, technical cooperation, mainly involving post-colonial, plurilingual contexts, as well as more general issues of practical, ideological, anthropological, political and ethical order.
