| Book Subtitle | Implementing The Personalisation Of Support |
| Book Description | This book provides an international comparative study of the implementation of disability rights law and policy focused on the emerging principles of self determination and personalization. It explores how these principles have been enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and how different jurisdictions have implemented them to enable meaningful engagement and participation by persons with disabilities in society. The philosophy of 'active citizenship' underpinning the Convention that all citizens should (be able to) actively participate in the community provides the core focal point of this book, which grounds its analysis in exploring how this goal has been imagined and implemented across a range of countries. |
