这一政策领域的重点是国际发展期刊中代表性明显不足的主题——残疾问题。这是及时的，因为《联合国残疾人权利公约》最近于 2008 年 5 月生效。因此，政策制定者和发展实践者越来越认识到需要在其核心活动中全面解决残疾问题。残疾人长期以来一直是国际援助的对象，那么为什么很少关注将残疾人纳入国际发展的主流，也很少关注残疾人圈内的发展？这篇社论以及在政策领域提出的论文，围绕 2008 年 5 月在埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴举行的贫困、歧视和缺乏机会这一重大会议中出现的这些主题提出了关键问题，并着眼于残疾与发展之间联系的轨迹，并提出了该公约的意义是什么以及它将如何推动该领域的发展。版权所有 © 2009 约翰·威利父子有限公司
This policy arena focuses on a significantly under-represented subject in international development journals-disability. This is timely, as the United Nations Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities recently came into force in May 2008. As a result, there is a growing awareness among policy-makers and development practitioners of the need to comprehensively address disability issues in their core activities. Persons with disabilities have long been subjects of international aid, so why has there been so little focus on mainstreaming disability within international development, and so little attention to development within disability circles? This editorial, and the papers presented in the policy arena, draw out the key issues around these themes that emerged from a major conference-poverty, discrimination and lack of access-held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in May 2008 and looks at the trajectory of links between disability and development and asks what is the significance of convention and how will it take the field forward.
