Disability Welfare Policy in Europe:Cognitive Disability and the
Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic analyses the impact of the Covid-19
pandemic on persons with cognitive disabilities and their families.
Written from a Disability Studies perspective, this edited
collection investigates education, employment, social and health
care services in European case studies. Recognising how Covid-19
health surveillance has limited the rights of all persons, the
chapters demonstrate how its impact has been even more severe on
persons with cognitive disabilities and their families. Outlining
the changes in welfare services during the Covid-19 pandemic that
have led to new forms of segregation and hindered full
participation of persons with disabilities in society on an equal
basis with others, the collection chronicles a setback in the
process of implementing the UN Convention for the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Within the framework of public
sociology, Disability Welfare Policy in Europe:Cognitive Disability
and the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic shows the failure of the
attempts aimed at shifting disability policy into the mainstream.
The authors highlight how persons with disabilities, their
families, as well as personnel working in disability welfare policy
have fought to keep the perspectives and rights of persons with
disabilities on the policy agenda. If the Covid-19 health
surveillance has rendered persons with disabilities invisible, how
can they be made visible once again?
Health and illness in the Neoliberal Era in Europe discusses the
impact of neoliberalism on public health and the social
construction of health and illness in Europe, analysing case
studies at a European and national level. The book focusses on
three main topics: health inequity, self-responsibilisation and
organisational reforms. Increasing inequity is one of the main
outcomes of neoliberal policy in Europe and here the authors
examine the impact of neoliberal policies on health inequality,
providing a European comparative data analysis of healthy life
expectancy and mental health issues in Spain. The book looks at
self-responsibilisation, as part of neoliberal citizenship, through
topics such as crowdsourcing medicine and citizen science. Finally,
it analyses organizational reform in Europe using three case
studies: Italian national health care reforms, mental health policy
in Italy and maternal care in Russia. The book includes
contributions from the Czech Republic, Italy, Russia and Spain and
fosters the development of sociological debate in such countries
within a European framework. It presents quantitative data analysis
as well as ethnographic research and outlines a complex scenario
affecting the everyday life of European citizens, their health and
illness.
