Neo-liberal globalised development calls for and reconfirms economic growth as the ultimate means and end, a development predicated on normalised, ableist and heteronormative ideologies and practices, a clear paradox in the rhetoric of inclusive development—development is not for every ‘body’. Development necessitates docile able bodies and minds to function and produce; the rest are to be corrected (cheaply) to function and produce, or removed—burdensome bodies on individualistic economies. Disabled bodies who may be too ‘slow’ or ‘unproductive’ therefore fall outside development, almost inimical to development.
These analyses from the anthropology of global health may seem to be worlds away from discussions in disability studies, but they are instructive and add a dimension which is crucial to understanding the intersections between disability and global health. We suggested earlier that critiques of the “medical model” in mainstream disability studies echo similar critiques from a global health perspective of a particular manifestation of medical discourse and practice—in short, if the medical model is bad for disability, it is equally bad for global health.
