Abstract

Politika prema osobama s invaliditetom na razini Europske unije doživjela je brojne transformacije u poslijednjih nekoliko godina. To se prvenstveno vidi u prijelazu s medicinskog modela promišljanja o problemima osoba s invaliditetom na socijalni model i model temeljen na ljudskim pravima. Ovakav trend znači da se u fokus sve više stavlja pojedinac, njegove osnovne potrebe i ostvarivanje ljudskog dostojanstva. Razlog tomu jest prepoznavanje osoba s invaliditetom kao društvene skupine s visokim životnim troškovima i stopom siromaštva, kao i visokom razinom socijalne isključenosti. Stoga se na razini Europske unije donose brojne smjernice i preporuke koje državama članicama služe kao vodilje za poboljšanje kvalitete života osoba s invaliditetom u svojim društvima. Trend je, svakako, vidljiv u Republici Hrvatskoj i Češkoj Republici koje su demokratskom konsolidacijom nakon stjecanja neovisnosti, jačanjem civilnog društva i prihvaćanjem europskih standarda primijenile socijalni model i time poboljšale položaj ove ranjive skupine. Ovaj rad ukratko opisuje proces razvoja i europeizacije politike prema osobama s invaliditetom u ovim dvjema državama uz prikazivanje njihove današnje prirode.

Abstract (english)

The disability policy on the European Union level has undergone many transformations in the past few years. Primarily it can be seen in the transition from the medical model of disability to the social model and the one based on human rights. This kind of trend means that person is in the focus, as well as their basic needs and the realization of human dignity. The reason for this is to identify the people with disabilities as a social group with high costs of living and poverty rates, and high levels of social exclusion. Therefore, the European Union has adopted a number of guidlines and recommendations to Member States, which act as directions for improving the quality of life of the people with disabilities in their society. The trend is also visible in the Republic of Croatia and the Czech Republic which both applied social model and thus improved the situation of this vulnerable social group through the democratic consolidation after independence, strengthening civil society and the acceptance of the European standards. This paper summarizes the process of developing and europeanization of disability policies in these two countries by showing their present nature.
