New Book on European Disability Policy
Wim van Oorschot and Bjorn Hvinden (eds.) (2001)
Disability Policies in European Countries
The Hague: Kluwer Law International
isbn 90 411 1591 9
This book aims to review and discuss the disability policies that were developed in six Western European countries in recent years. What have been the major changes? Have the disability policies of these countries become more similar in the course of the 1990s? If so, is it possible to identify a closer relationship between the emerging EU Disability Strategy and national policy developments in this area? Countries included are Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain. All contributions include detailed information on recent changes in disability policies in the respective countries.
