Language divides are common components of group conflict, a phenomenon reflected widely in theories of nationalism. This article evaluates measures developed by David Laitin and James Fearon in the minorities at risk dataset claiming to quantify language difference and concludes they are deeply flawed. The introduction outlines language divides vis-a-vis conflict. A theoretical analysis in the second section argues against rational choice analyses of language politics; in the third section a sociolinguistic matrix shows that these fractional measures represent language ancestry but nothing else (morphology, syntax, lexicon, orthography, status). Theoretical implications and alternative methods are considered in the fourth section followed by a summary conclusion.
In February, the Quadrennial Defense Review called on the Military Departments to prepare commissioned and noncommissioned officers "for the full range of complex missions that the future security environment will demand" by "building expertise in foreign language, regional, and cultural skills." With the assistance of outstanding colleagues at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), I'm doing just that! We're building the Joint Foreign Area Officer Skill Sustainment Pilot Program, JFSSPP for short, to provide resources and educational opportunities for the rapidly growing Foreign Area Officer (FAO) community. ; Joint Foreign Area Officer Skill Sustainment Pilot Program (JFSSPP) (School of International Graduate Studies (SIGS))
