Abstract

Issues of participation of people with disabilities in politics and public administration are the focus of this chapter. People with disabilities can have an effective impact on society and policies if they are allowed and encouraged to participate in democratic processes, public administration, and activism actions. Through these channels, their voice can be heard even louder and clearer and can have an increased impact. This chapter discusses how ICT can help in encouraging such participation and how it can also assist in activist actions for disability rights. Citizenship in the age of social media, social media as a tool for social innovation, issues of compliance, the politics of disability, and design issues are some of the aspects discussed in the chapter.
