商品描述

This Handbook examines disability law from an international and comparative perspective.

Since the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) by the UN General Assembly, there has been a dramatic shift in the way disability has been conceptualised and, consequently, reflected in national laws and policies. Developments in disability law at the national level are proceeding at a rapid pace, owing in large part to the negotiation of a comprehensive international human rights treaty cataloguing the rights of persons with disabilities.

The Routledge Handbook of Disability Law embraces these developments in the field by drawing together key thinkers to examine core issues such as models of disability, autonomy, definitions of disability and community living. Weaving an inter-disciplinary approach throughout, the contributing authors will also address emerging discussions around topics including employment, mental health, education and housing. The book will also suggest future trends and developments in this rapidly evolving field and, crucially, chart out a course for future disability law scholarship.

This Handbook will be an essential reference tool for students and scholars with an interest in disability law.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本手冊從國際和比較的角度探討殘疾法。自從聯合國大會通過《殘疾人權利公約》(CRPD)以來,對殘疾的概念化方式發生了戲劇性的轉變,因此在國家法律和政策中得到了反映。殘疾法在國家層面的發展正在快速進行,這在很大程度上要歸功於綜合國際人權條約的談判,該條約對殘疾人的權利進行了詳細的記錄。

《Routledge殘疾法手冊》通過匯集關鍵思想家來探討這一領域的發展,例如殘疾模式、自主權、殘疾定義和社區生活等核心問題。在整本書中,貢獻作者們將採用跨學科的方法,還將討論就業、心理健康、教育和住房等新興議題。該書還將提出這個快速發展領域的未來趨勢和發展,並且重要的是,為未來的殘疾法學研究制定出一條路線。

這本手冊對於對殘疾法感興趣的學生和學者來說是一個必不可少的參考工具。
