This is the first collection to examine the legal dynamics of
deinstitutionalisation. It considers the extent to which some
contemporary laws, policies and practices affecting people with
disabilities are moving towards the promised end point of enhanced
social and political participation in the community, while others
may instead reinstate, continue or legitimate historical practices
associated with this population's institutionalisation. Bringing
together 20 contributors from the UK, Canada, Australia, Spain and
Indonesia, the book speaks to overarching themes of segregation and
inequality, interlocking forms of oppression and rights-based
advancements in law, policy and practice. Ultimately this
collection brings forth the possibilities, limits and
contradictions in the roles of law and policy in processes of
institutionalisation and deinstitutionalisation, and directs us
towards a more nuanced and sustained scholarly and political
engagement with these issues.
