In the final episode in our series on federalism and digitalization, we're joined by André Lecours, Eric Champagne and the Forum's own Jamie Thomas, to talk about why federalism can be a barrier or facilitator in digitalization processes, and how and why federal countries do digital differently.

    Episode 10 - Language Policy and Federalism Part 2: More Than Just Words

    How do governments in multilingual federal countries approach the use of language in different areas? How do governance institutions in federations shape language provisions and accommodate the language needs of different linguistic communities? In the concluding episode of our mini-series on language policy and federalism, we take a deep dive into how language policies in Canada, India and South Africa have attempted to navigate the opportunities and tensions of language in federations. We explore how language issues manifest in government administration and services, examine how colonial histories shape minority vs. majority language debates, and delve into the particularly tricky area of language in education.
