Engellilerin Toplumsal Entegrasyonunda Siyasal Temsil Üzerine Bir Deneme: Türkiye Özürlüsü ile Mutludur Partisi

The purpose of this study, in the context of the social rights of people with disabilities in Turkey, political participation and political representation of the social / political life is to determine the location. The "basic approaches to disability", which has been put forward because of the efforts to explain and make sense of the place of the disabled in social life, constitute one leg of the theoretical framework of the study. However, the other leg of the theoretical part is the context in which the concepts of human rights and political representation are handled. This article proposes to articulate Jellinek’s "rights to active status" to the thinking system built on human rights put forward by the basic approaches to explain disability. In addition, by establishing a nexus between the functions of political parties and the human rights model, a narrative about the importance and necessity of political representation in the social integration of the disabled is included. Based on the current sample represented in the West "small parties" out to define "Turkey Happy with Disabled Party" experience is also included in the study. The main claim of the study is that political participation and representation are as important as issues such as the right to education, the right to health, and the problem of unemployment in the social integration of the disabled.
