Description
Special Education and Globalization explores how inclusive education has become a dominant discourse across Europe and internationally.
The book examines the tensions within each jurisdiction, related to the construction of disability within specific historical and cultural contexts. It highlights the relationship between official policy discourses and grassroots practices based on classroom practitioners' assumptions about individual deficits.
Contributions from various contributors also discuss how parents and voluntary organisations may assert the 'specialness' of certain conditions requiring provision outside the mainstream, while new bureaucratic structures often run counter to the ethos of co-operation that informs inclusive practice.
