Abstract
Nationalism and multiculturalism are strange bedfellows. In the Finnish case,
however, they have formed a relatively well-functioning couple for almost a
century. In my paper, I will discuss the institutional arrangements and symbolic
constructions of this relationship, with special attention to the political
organization of linguistic diversity in Finland. In the final section, I will bring out
some contemporary pressures and challenges that the Finnish linguistic policy is
now facing.
