This edited volume discusses UNESCO's contributions to inclusive
education over the past 20 years, the normative and technical
leadership roles this organization has been playing together with
its peers and competitors in educational development, and the
current status of this issue in academic debates, as well as
conceptualizations from different cultures. The chapters reflect
and critically discuss a range of positions on the relation between
inclusive education, education for all, and special needs education
and particularly express the role disability plays in these
thematic contexts. The book brings to light that although the term
inclusive education is commonly associated with people with
disabilities, there are contexts - e.g., research strands on school
development in the UK - in which inclusive education is considered
as an approach in which the focus of special (needs) education is
widened in terms of the target group, reaching out to the
heterogeneity of learners, thus taking diversity as a starting
point for educational theory and practice. This book highlights the
differences in narratives of inclusive education in the United
States and abroad and is intended to bridge the various approaches
to the study of inclusive education and disability, particularly in
the US, the UK, and the Nordic countries within Europe. Although
academics and students in Disability Studies are the target
audience, the book is also of high relevance to policy makers in
the growing field of inclusive education, as well as being
potentially interesting for practitioners in education and social
work.
