© 2014 John Benjamins Publishing Company. This is an author's final draft version of an article whose final and definitive form has been published by John Benjamins Publishing Company.
The article examines the language policy developments of Finnish higher
education in historical and contemporary perspective. It is part of an
Academy of Finland funded project (2011-2013) on the role of language in
Finnish higher education internationalisation. The article first presents an
historical overview of the language policy developments in Finnish
universities and then goes on to discuss the latest developments in Finnish
university and language legislation. Two cases illustrate the role of language
in internationalisation strategies on one hand, and the ideologies made
visible by hierarchisations of English as native and non-native on the other.
The article concludes by discussing the implications of the complex role of
English in the setting of the equally complex Finnish constitutional
bilingualism.
