The Diffusion of Disability Rights Policy: A Focus on Special Education in South Korea

Author:
Yoo, Joan P.   Palley, Elizabeth   


Journal:
International Journal of Disability, Development and Education


Issue Date:
2014


Abstract(summary):

This article examines the development of South Korean special education policy and suggests that different strategies of policy diffusion influenced the design of the policy at different times. Historically, South Korea relied on external pressures and influences, particularly US law and UN guidelines, to develop much of its human rights law, including special education. This article suggests that development of democratic infrastructure in South Korea led to improvements in the legislative development process in relation to current special education law, and this led to legislation that better identifies and addresses the needs of children with disabilities.
