Download or read book Disability in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union written by Michael Rasell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over thirty million disabled people in Russia and Eastern Europe, yet their voices are rarely heard in scholarly studies of life and well-being in the region. This book brings together new research by internationally recognised local and non-native scholars in a range of countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It covers, historically, the origins of legacies that continue to affect well-being and policy in the region today. Discussions of disability in culture and society highlight the broader conditions in which disabled people must build their identities and well-being whilst in-depth biographical profiles outline what living with disabilities in the region is like. Chapters on policy interventions, including international influences, examine recent reforms and the difficulties of implementing inclusive, community-based care. The book will be of interest both to regional specialists, for whom well-being, equality and human rights are crucial concerns, and to scholars of disability and social policy internationally.
Download or read book Balkan Legacies written by John Paul Newman and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balkan Legacies is a study of the aftermath of war and state socialism in the contemporary Balkans. The authors look at the inescapable inheritances of the recent past and those that the present has to deal with. The book’s key theme is the interaction, often subliminal, of the experiences of war and socialism in contemporary society in the region. Fifteen contributors approach this topic from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and through a variety of interpretive lenses, collectively drawing a composite picture of the most enduring legacies of conflict and ideological transition in the region, without neglecting national and local peculiarities. The guiding questions addressed are: what is the relationship between memories of war, dictatorship (communist or fascist), and present-day identity—especially from the perspective of peripheral and minority groups and individuals? How did these components interact with each other to produce the political and social culture of the Balkan Peninsula today? The answers show the ways in which the experiences of the latter part of the twentieth century have defined and shaped the region in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Students with Disabilities Learning Difficulties and Disadvantages written by Centre for Educational Research and Innovation and published by OECD. This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The move into the knowledge economy means that OECD member countries are increasingly concerned with the standards attained by students and their type of learning. This also applies to students with disabilities, learning difficulties and disadvantages (DDD) and new programmes are being developed to assist these students to improve their skills and to become included more fully into society and work. However, the concept of special education varies across countries with the consequence that each one identifies different proportions of these students. The governments of OECD countries are collaborating to develop a better understanding of special education and how it can be developed to meet the needs of students with disabilities, learning difficulties and disadvantages (DDD).
