The authors combine studies of contemporary federal and provincial policy making with a historical perspective on the progress made by disability groups since World War I. The cases they discuss illustrate the tension between issues of human rights and personal capacities that the disability movement must deal with, but which have implications for other groups as well. An analysis of contemporary social policy networks in Canada makes it possible for the authors to suggest reasons for the inconsistent success that disability organizations have had in translating their requirements into policy. A Seat at the Table illuminates the key social-political factors of resources, roles, and reputations that must be taken into account by excluded groups seeking to gain a seat at the policy table. The insights it provides are important for the development of more professional lobbying practices by disability stakeholders as well as by women, aboriginals, ethnic groups, the elderly, and the poor. 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xCivil rights$zCanada 606 $aHandicapes$xPolitique gouvernementale$zCanada 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xCivil rights 615 6$aHandicapes$xPolitique gouvernementale 676 $a362.4/04561/0971 701 $aBoyce$b William F$g(William Francis),$f1949-$01128327 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824589303321 996 $aA seat at the table$94188408 997 $aUNINA
