This book explores the conceptual spaces and socio-legal context
which mental capacity laws inhabit. It will be seen that these
norms are created and reproduced through the binaries that pervade
mental capacity laws in liberal legal jurisdictions- such as
capacity/incapacity; autonomy/paternalism; empowerment/protection;
carer/cared-for; disabled/non-disabled; public/private. Whilst on
one level the book demonstrates the pervasive reach of laws
questioning individuals mental capacity, within and beyond the
medical context which it is most commonly associated with, at a
deeper and perhaps more important level it challenges the
underlying norms and assumptions underpinning the very idea of
mental capacity, and reflects outwards on the transformative
potential of these realisations for other areas of law. In doing
so, whilst the book offers lessons for mental capacity law
scholarship in terms of reform efforts at both domestic and
internationals levels, it also offers ways to develop our
understandings of a range of linked legal, policy and theoretical
concepts. In so doing, it offers new critical vantage points for
both legal critique and conceptual change beyond mental capacity
law. The book will be of interest to researchers in mental capacity
law, disability law and socio-legal studies as well as critical
geographers and disability studies scholars.
