It argues that IFs mobility is not attributable to neoliberalism alone but to the complex intersections between neoliberal and emancipatory agendas and transnational networks.

Drawing from a rich theoretical framework and extensive empirical research, the book offers a timely examination of the policy processes and mechanisms driving the spread of IF amongst countries at the forefront of disability policy reform. It argues that IFs mobility is not solely attributable to neoliberalism but rather to the complex interplay between neoliberal and emancipatory agendas, as well as the transnational networks that have blended these agendas in innovative ways within different institutional contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book showcases how disability rights struggles have converged with neoliberal agendas, explaining the propensity of IF to move and evolve across different jurisdictions. Through first-hand accounts of activists and advocates engaged in these struggles, it sheds light on the consequences and risks associated with the dangerous liaisons and political trade-offs that were deemed necessary to bring individualised funding to the policy agenda for disabled people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is of immense interest to scholars and students engaged in disability studies, social policy, sociology, and political science more broadly. It provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of disability support and the complex interplay between neoliberal policies, social movements, and the rights of disabled individuals worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 370g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367686307\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Georgia van Toorn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105074213114,"sku":"9780367686307","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_bcff7413-05db-436b-b796-f43eaa3f91c0.jpg?v=1662650650","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-new-political-economy-of-disability-transnational-networks-and-individualised-funding-in-the-age-of-neoliberalism-9780367686307","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
