Description
Citizenship Inclusion and Intellectual Disability Biopolitics Post-Institutionalisation by Niklas Altermark explores how government programs aimed at promoting 'citizenship inclusion' for people with intellectual disabilities may inadvertently create a regime of exclusion. By examining the intersection of political philosophy, social theory, and disability studies, this book reveals how the ideals of citizenship are often at odds with the needs and rights of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The author argues that the current state of Western intellectual disability politics is characterized by a complex interplay between inclusion and exclusion. This thought-provoking work will be of interest to scholars and students of disability studies, disability politics, and political theory, offering insights into the ways in which policies targeting people with intellectual disabilities can have far-reaching consequences.
