The Status of English in Bosnia and Herzegovina

When the former Yugoslavia disintegrated in the early 1990s, competence in English was not widespread. This book explores how English became equated with economic survival for many during and after the ensuing war. The diverse range of themes, from the classroom to the military, offers a comprehensive account of the evolving status of English.
