ABSTRACT

Political-economic analysis, among other theories and expository frames, can be considered as one of the most important tools to explain the social status of and the social discrimination against disabled people. One of the reasons is that we can understand critical influences on daily life through political economics of disability, and that almost everything we experience in day-to-day context cannot be separated from political economics. This article aims to analyze disability and disability discrimination on the aspect of political economics. Especially this article tries to account for how disabled people have been controled or excluded through social politics, which reflect political economics of a certain society, and how they have been positively affected by social politics. Firstly, this article will explain why disability needs to be understood as a result of political economics. Secondly, it will look at the process of the classification and industrialization of disability within the frame of Capitalism. Lastly, it will claim that social politics can take an important role in empowering disabled people, even though it is undeniable that it has played as a mechanism of their social exclusion.
