This handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative state-of-the-art review of the current and emerging research and policy on disability law.
Bringing together a team of respected and experienced experts, the handbook offers a range of jurisdictional and multidisciplinary perspectives. The authors consider historical and contemporary, as well as comparative perspectives of disability law. Divided into three parts, the contributors provide a comprehensive reference to the theoretical underpinnings, ongoing debates and emerging fields within the subject. The study provides a strong basis for consideration of contemporary disability law, its research foundations, and progressive developments in the area. The book incorporates interdisciplinary and comparative country perspectives to capture the breadth of current discourse on disability law.
This handbook provides a valuable resource for a wide range of scholars, public and private researchers, NGOs, and practitioners working in the area of disability law, and across national and transnational disability schemes. The work will be of important interest to those in the fields of sociology, history, psychology, economics, political science, rehabilitation sciences, medicine, technology, and law, among others.
The Ashgate Research Companion to Disability Law is an accessible but sophisticated treatment of the fast-moving field of disability law and policy. Addressing domestic, comparative, and international developments, it will become an important resource for researchers and practitioners in the many disciplines that touch the lives of people with disabilities.
