This volume presents the results of a five-year international investigation into disability and governance. It examines three interrelated topics: the impact of disabled individuals who have been elected or appointed to high governmental office; the scope, structure and impact of national disability policy bodies; and the increasing accessibility of the machinery of democracy, especially elections and voting. “Change from Within” is the first international report on this significant topic.
