More than 1 billion people worldwide have a disability, and they are all affected by politics. This two-volume work explores key topics at the heart of disability policy, such as voting, race, gender, age, health care, social security, transportation, abuse, and the environment.
• Explains all stages of disability policy development, including the framing of issues in the political participation of disability, current policy, retired policy, and cutting-edge issues likely to motivate policy in decades to come
• Includes material from contributors who represent a range of academic disciplines and employ varied thought about disability across fields of study and professional expertise
• Ideally suited for students taking undergraduate courses in sociology, education, human development, social work, disability studies, and public affairs
