This book addresses the ways in which individualised, market-based
models of disability support provision have been mobilised in and
across different countries through cross-national investigation of
individualised funding (IF) as an object of neoliberal policy
mobility. Combining rich theoretical and interdisciplinary
perspectives with extensive empirical research, the book provides a
timely examination of the policy processes and mechanisms driving
the spread of IF amongst countries at the forefront of disability
policy reform. It is argued that IF's mobility is not attributable
to neoliberalism alone but to the complex intersections between
neoliberal and emancipatory agendas and to the transnational
networks that have blended the two agendas in new ways in different
institutional contexts. The book shows how disability rights
struggles have synchronised with neoliberal agendas, which explains
IF's propensity to move and mutate between different jurisdictions.
Featuring first-hand accounts of the activists and advocates
engaged in these struggles, the book illuminates the consequences
and risks of the dangerous liaisons and political trade-offs that
seemed necessary to get individualised funding on the policy agenda
for disabled people. It will be of interest to all scholars and
students working in disability studies, social policy, sociology
and political science more generally.
