Overview

In light of the third-generation concept of ‘inclusive sustainability’, the volume explores the architecture of global disability governance and its degree of harmonisation. The book integrates socio-cultural, economic, political and legal analyses from an international and comparative perspective.

Part One: Systematisation of Disability Rights

The first part of the volume outlines a tripartite systematisation of disability rights for States and non-state persons.

Part Two: Disability and Fundamental Rights

In light of essential economic considerations, the second part explores the relationship between disability and specific fundamental rights and regimes, particularly the rights to life, health, education, work and participation.

Part Three: Institutional Approaches

The third part takes an institutional approach and focuses on the way in which the UN and regional organisations regulate disability (rectius, different ability).
