Disability policies.

Summary The different forms of politicization of disability addressed in the contributions in this dossier can be considered through the prism of two structuring perspectives. The first concerns the boundaries of disability, from the advent of a category of public action to the practical modalities of its implementation and the work of categorization that this implies. The second concerns the approaches to disability, and will lead us to question the transition, which is fundamental to the field of disability studies, from a "medical model", in which disability is essentially thought of in terms of the individual's deficiencies, to a "social model", which considers disability in a situational manner in relation to the environment (Oliver, 1996).
