We begin with a general characterization of the discourse of mobility and internationalization in a European context and then turn toDenmark as a specific case in which we unfold and discuss three paradoxes in turn:internationalization and linguistic pluralism, internationalization and intercultural understanding and, finally, internationalization and competitiveness. We then link ourdeconstruction of the three paradoxes to a critique of the concept of “parallel language policy,” widely promoted in the Nordic context, and show how it potentially undermines the ideals of internationalization.",
