The Journal

The Journal Disability and International Development is published three times a year since 1990, featuring contributions in both English and German.

The journal accompanies the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as well as Agenda 2030 with the Sustainable Development Goals, in terms of content and expertise. The journal offers a cross-border exchange of information and aims to contribute to the further development of the professional discussion on social and development policy, intercultural and educational issues related to the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the Global South. Each issue is dedicated to a focal topic, which is complemented by individual contributions and a topical information section.

While thematic focus issues address specific facets of the thematic field, for which a call for papers is published in advance, interested authors can also submit abstracts on their own initiative.
