This Research Handbook comes at an opportune time, and provides a
comprehensive and wide-ranging exploration of relevant developments
concerning disability rights at EU level. It also looks beyond the
EU, focusing on how disability has been relevant in EU external
relations. In addition, the Research Handbook considers the
interface between EU disability law and Council of Europe law.
Expert contributors address key questions related to the scope and
impact of EU disability law, examining its compliance with the UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and
the gaps that remain to be filled in implementation by the EU.
Analysing the most important and recent developments in EU
disability law, the chapters in this Research Handbook trace its
evolution, and assess the extent to which disability rights are
protected and promoted in various strands of EU law and policy. The
chapters highlight the connections, overlaps and inconsistencies
which exist across those strands. This thought-provoking Research
Handbook will be a valuable resource for scholars; researchers and
students of disability law, EU law and international law; as well
as practitioners, policy makers, civil society organizations and
European think tanks engaged with the fields of EU and
international disability law.
