Observing legislative processes: implementation of the CRPD

The series „Innsbrucker Beiträge zur Rechtstatsachenforschung“ („Innsbruck‘ contributions to empirical legal studies“) aims at analysing the interconnections of law in the books and law in action with a special focus on the functioning of law. Volume 8 presents the results of the research project „Observing legislative processes: Implementation of the CRPD“ which was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF): P 26710-G16. The main focus of the project was the evaluation of the involvement of persons with disabilities in the processes of implementing the CRPD into domestic law and their involvement in the monitoring of these implementation processes within Austria, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
