This book is based on a conference organised jointly by the editors to mark the European Year of Disabled People. It explores the range of legal strategies which have been adopted, both nationally and internationally, to achieve
equality for disabled people and facilitate their inclusion into mainstream society. It examines current developments in anti-discrimination law, both within Member States and at EU level. It also assesses the effectiveness and
potential of the human rights framework for disabled Europeans. In addition, a number of approaches to the enforcement and promotion of disability
rights are considered.
Contributors to this book, drawn from across Europe, represent a variety of different backgrounds. They include academics in the field, as well as campaigners and others working to improve or enforce disability-related
legislation. The book is a unique and timely contribution to an important and rapidly expanding field of study. It will be of relevance to all those, whether lawyers or not, with an interest in disability and equality issues.
Caroline Gooding is the Special Adviser to the Disability Rights Commission.
Anna Lawson is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Leeds and a member of the
University’s Centre for Disability Studies and the Law School’s Human Rights Research Unit.
