This edited book responds to the theoretical vacuum and accommodates the learning needs of students, researchers and practitioners looking at understanding the conceptual underpinnings and practice dimensions of CBID from the intersections of disability studies, community-based approaches and inclusive development in the Global South, while developing new theoretical ground on CBID. Bringing together established and emerging scholars and practitioners, the objectives of this edited volume are to: Offer a theoretical, critical and interdisciplinary volume for students, academics and practitioners working in CBID in the Global South. Build a new interdisciplinary body of theory and knowledge that can inform research and practice. Explore in-depth a range of issues through a critical lens and connect these with CBID. Contribute evidence-based material for CBID programming and advocacy. Inform the work of mainstream community development practitioners. Push for a stronger focus on disability within mainstream fields of study and practice such as international development, global health, humanitarian action and emergency while creating effective linkages.
