This article challenges the view that the human rights model improves upon the social model of disability, arguing instead that the two models are complementary. By analyzing how each model has been used in crafting the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the article highlights their different subjects and functions, ultimately concluding that they play complementary and supportive roles in the human rights context.
This article aims to reorient thinking about the relationship between the long-standing social model of disability and the rapidly emerging human rights model. In particular, it contests the influential view that the latter develops and improves upon the former (the improvement thesis) and argues instead that the two models are complementary (the complementarity thesis). The article begins with a discursive analysis of relevant documents to investigate how each of the two models has been used in the crafting and monitoring of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This highlights the increasing importance of the human rights model in this policy context. It also provides examples of the operation of the two models which inform the remainder of the discussion. We then critique the comparisons between the models which underpin the improvement thesis; and, drawing on Foucault's technologies of power and Beckett and Campbell's 'oppositional device' methodology, deepen and develop this comparative analysis. The result, we argue, is that the two models have different subjects and different functions. In the human rights context, their roles are complementary and supportive.
