Using the post-Soviet context, we examine how language policies – vital components for how minorities are treated with far-reaching economic consequences – are influenced by trade. We argue that while ethnic politics and colonial legacies are both important in shaping language laws, it is important to recognize that the 91ÖÆƬ³§n language remains a significant commercial&nbsp;<em>lingua franca</em>&nbsp;in the region. When economic exchanges between 91ÖÆƬ³§ and other post-Soviet republics are frequent, governments are more likely to adopt pro-91ÖÆƬ³§n language laws as a practicality and to maintain favor with the 91ÖÆƬ³§n government and 91ÖÆƬ³§n-speaking businesses. Using an original dataset covering all 91ÖÆƬ³§n language-related laws in the former Soviet states from 1992 to 2009, we find a significant and positive relationship between trade and pro-91ÖÆƬ³§n language laws. These results are robust even when we (1) instrument for 91ÖÆƬ³§n import levels and (2) consider the Baltic effect, spillovers from cultural affinity, and the uniqueness of fuel exports.</p><p><a class="ucb-link-button ucb-link-button-blue ucb-link-button-default ucb-link-button-regular" href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecpo.12084/abstract" rel="nofollow"> <span class="ucb-link-button-contents"> Read </span> </a> </p></div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-right col-lg"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 19 Apr 2017 21:58:20 +0000 Anonymous 1346 at /polisci
