DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this book is to provide a policy analysis of the linkages between disability and international development, and to trace the trajectory of disability issues within global health an international development framework. This book is both timely and relevant for development policy- makers and practitioners, particularly following the successful passage of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The book will engage in current scholarship in the related fields of disability studies, development studies, global health and public policy. Drawing upon original research conducted by the author in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Swaziland and Namibia, between 2007-2009, this book will argue that disability needs to be addressed within the international development paradigm. Central to the argument are the relationships that exist between disability, poverty, vulnerability and marginalisation. By focusing upon disability issues within te global context, the book will analyze some of the generic, protracted issues encountered by policy-makers and development practitioners. These include the challenges of engaging poor and marginalized groups in policy-making; the efficacy of participatory development; implementing rights-based policies; the challenges of the UN institutions in engaging with civil society and enforcing human rights. The UNCRPD has the potential to create a paradigm shift in how disability policy and practice is formulated and implemented. However, this book will argue that it is premature to determine whether this will be the case, as significant barriers need to be overcome - primarily related to good governance. These include the lack of robust statistical data, thereby inhibiting civil society's ability to hold their governments to account; gender imbalances in accessing disability-specific and mainstream public services; the need for States Parties to engage with disabled people's organizations; and the need for policy-makers to utilize a rights-based approach to disability issues in implementing policy and practice in alignment with the UNCRPD.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本书的目的是对残疾与国际发展之间的联系进行政策分析，并在全球卫生和国际发展框架内追踪残疾问题的轨迹。这本书对于发展政策制定者和实践者来说既及时又相关，特别是在联合国《残疾人权利公约》（UNCRPD）成功通过之后。 这本书将在残疾研究，发展研究，全球健康和公共政策的相关领域的当前奖学金。本书借鉴了作者2007-2009年期间在尼日利亚、津巴布韦、莫桑比克、马拉维、斯威士兰和纳米比亚进行的原创研究，认为需要在国际发展范式中解决残疾问题。这一论点的核心是残疾、贫穷、脆弱性和边缘化之间存在的关系。通过在全球范围内关注残疾问题，本书将分析决策者和发展实践者遇到的一些普遍的，长期的问题。这些挑战包括：让贫困和边缘化群体参与决策的挑战;参与性发展的有效性;执行基于权利的政策;联合国机构在与民间社会接触和落实人权方面的挑战。 《残疾人权利公约》有可能在如何制定和执行残疾政策和做法方面带来范式转变。然而，本书将指出，现在就确定是否会出现这种情况还为时过早，因为需要克服重大障碍--主要与善治有关。这些问题包括：缺乏可靠的统计数据，从而限制了民间社会向政府问责的能力;在获得专门针对残疾人的主流公共服务方面存在性别不平衡;缔约国需要与残疾人组织合作;决策者需要在执行政策和实践时根据《残疾人权利公约》采用基于权利的办法处理残疾问题。
