This textbook conceptualises disability law as a comprehensive body of rules that has matured as a coherent discipline. Specifically, this book addresses international and European disability law and policy, a discipline which has been influenced by disability studies, the disability rights movements and disabled peoples’ organisations (DPOs). The textbook highlights, in a comparative fashion, the interaction between different sources of law and legal systems. It examines the most recent disability-related developments at the international, European Union (EU) and regional levels, with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD or the ‘Convention’) serving as the global standard on disability rights. This textbook maintains a balance between theory and practice and focuses on the relevant legal frameworks, their interpretation and application, as well as on current challenges in the realm of international and regional policymaking in the disability context. This chapter introduces the reader to the textbook itself and to the novelties and intricacies inherent in international and European disability law and policy. In that regard, the chapter begins with an overview of the developments that led to the emergence of disability law as an academic discipline. Thereafter, the chapter briefly discusses how the language of disability has changed over time. It then goes on to provide an account of the aims and objectives of this textbook, and it outlines the guiding perspective and the methodological approach adopted in the book. Finally, the chapter ends with an outline of the structure of the textbook as a whole.

During the past decade, governments from across Europe and in other advanced welfare states have expanded their interest in integrating measures of well-being into the design of social policy. This development has been driven by a wide range of factors, including environmental concerns, economic crises and increasing evidence on the determinants of subjective well-being. In response, several governments have sought to incorporate indicators of well-being into social surveys, policy evaluations and the design of social interventions. This chapter explores the increasing significance of well-being to welfare states and the challenges posed by incorporating well-being as a meaningful and measurable outcome of social policies. First, it addresses the policy context behind the growing relationship between well-being and social policy, examining how recent social trends have informed the debate. Second, it summarizes the empirical evidence base on the determinants of well-being, identifying potential roles for welfare states. Third, in examining unemployment, it presents a case study of how evidence on well-being has been used to influence debates around welfare state reform. Fourth and finally, the chapter concludes by considering empirical and normative critiques of the role of well-being in social policy.
