ABSTRACT
The global disability movement has come far in securing a place for persons with disabilities to represent themselves in high-level meetings and succeeding in disability inclusion in international standards, norms and goals. The visibility of disability has increased dramatically in different spheres on a global scale. Yet, in reality, inequality seems to be increasing rather than decreasing, at least according to the aforementioned case studies. In this chapter, academic theories and evidences of case studies are strongly connected and discussed for enriching the discourse of globalization, inequality reduction and disability inclusion towards realizing the global disability rights based on accumulated evidence including the experiences of the former Rapporteur.
