This book provides an international comparative study of the
implementation of disability rights law and policy focused on the
emerging principles of self-determination and personalisation. It
explores how these principles have been enshrined in the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and
how different jurisdictions have implemented them to enable
meaningful engagement and participation by persons with
disabilities in society. The philosophy of 'active citizenship'
underpinning the Convention - that all citizens should (be able to)
actively participate in the community - provides the core focal
point of this book, which grounds its analysis in exploring how
this goal has been imagined and implemented across a range of
countries. The case studies examine how different jurisdictions
have reformed disability law and policy and reconfigured how
support is administered and funded to ensure maximum choice and
independence is accorded to people with disabilities.
