This collection brings together leading international socio-legal
and medico-legal scholars to explore the dilemma of how to support
legal capacity in theory and practice. Traditionally, decisions for
persons found to lack capacity are made by others, generally
without reference to the person, and this applies especially to
those with cognitive and psycho-social disabilities. This book
examines the difficulties in establishing effective and deliverable
supported decision-making, concluding that approaches to capacity
need to be informed by a grounded understanding of how it operates
in 'real life' contexts. The book focuses on the UN Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which recognises
the equal right to legal capacity of people with disabilities and
requires States Parties to provide support for the exercise of this
right. However, 10 years after the CRPD came into force, the shift
to legal frameworks for supported decision-making remains at best
only partial. With 16 chapters written by contributors from the UK,
Canada, Finland, India, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, the
collection takes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach. Many
of the contributors have been directly involved in law reform
processes in their home jurisdictions, and thus can combine both
academic expertise and practical, grounded awareness of the
challenges of legal change.
