  • Disabled Citizens and the Neoliberal Turn in Britain Whose Rights and Whose Responsibilities?
    7 7 Disabled citizens and the neoliberal turn in Britain Whose rights and whose responsibilities? Monika Baár Introduction1 The phenomenon commonly labelled as the neoliberal turn represented a key transitional moment in the history of the welfare states in Europe and beyond. It revealed both certain common characteristics and peculiarities confined to a number of individual states. This chapter reflects on the repercussions of this shift from the perspective of disabled people in Britain, where it coincided with the rise to power of Margaret Thatcher’s conservative government in 1979. On the one hand, this period became associated with serious cuts in the welfare budget and the fundamental reshaping of the welfare landscape. These measures were justified ideologically as a means to “responsibilize” citizens, while in pragmatic terms they were justified by pointing to the circumstances dictated by the financial crisis. On the other hand, this era was characterized by an upsurge in disabled peo- ple’s grassroots activities. This intensification of bottom-up activities owed not merely to domestic dynamics, but also resonated with international developments. One such crucial event was the United Nations’ International Year of Disabled Persons (in Britain usually referred to as International Year of Disabled People and in abbreviated form as IYDP), which was observed worldwide in 1981 with the aim to promote the rights of persons with disabilities and enable their integration into the mainstream of society. This chapter seeks to add new angles to recent insight- ful studies on the development of disability-related welfare policies in Britain in the post-war period and in particular on the neoliberal turn by placing the intensi- fied discussions around the International Year and their repercussions at its centre.
