How Social Institutions Impact E-Accessibility PolicyGeorge Giannoumis
This paper examines how social institutions (i.e. the differences in norms, values and procedures) impact the design and implementation of national and supranational policies to promote accessibility of information and communication technology (E-Accessibility). These institutions impact E-Accessibility policy through differences in legal culture, industrial relations (relationship between the government, business and trade unions), and the relationship between public authorities and disabled people's organisations. Due to its social and political importance, the paper focuses on web accessibility (Internet and intranet websites, web based applications, and non-traditional and emerging technologies).
Based on original research currently in progress the paper presents preliminary findings based on a content analysis of policy documents from the UN and the EU, and the United States, the United Kingdom and Norway. The paper describes the emergence of E-Accessibility on the UN and EU policy agenda, and compares (UK-US) and contrasts (UK-Norway) how and to what extent these countries have responded to or anticipated supranational policies to promote E-Accessibility. The paper additionally explores the role of policy diffusion across national boundaries emphasising emulation, coercion, competition and learning processes.
Achieving E-Accessibility depends on whether policymakers can regulate the market to address the needs of all people, including persons with disabilities. Social regulation policies aim to influence market function and the behavior of non-governmental actors in an attempt to promote social objectives. Policy dialogue between public authorities including standards organizations and monitoring agencies, business, and advocacy organizations has also impacted the nature of policy provisions and the achievement of policy goals.
The paper argues that the US, UK and Norway have not only adopted different policy instruments, they also have different approaches to ensuring or enhancing opportunities for persons with disabilities to participate in the information society. E-Accessibility policy programs and approaches in these countries have been influenced and framed by different national policy traditions, the distribution of roles, and the relationships between actors participating in the design and implementation of E-Accessibility policy.
