Drawing on social movement studies focusing on strategic interactions and cooperative collective action, it examines how new forms of collaboration can contribute to solving future policy issues. Firstly, it presents a case study of the aftermath of the Tsukui Yamayuri-en tragedy in 2016, showing that people with disabilities’s forced dependance on residential care facilities and family caregivers has been identified as a fundamental problem of Japanese disability policies. Then, it provides an overview of Japanese disability policies since the 1960s, in relation to the DPO movement and the movement of disabled-people parent/family organizations, in order to clarify the origin and history of this problem. It also examines two examples of cooperation on the part of DPOs and affiliated organizations, which took place in the 2010s, around the time of the ratification of the CRPD. Finally, further collaboration between DPOs and related organizations, especially parent/family organizations, is suggested in order to promote the emancipation of both people with disabilities and families. L’article analyse l'implication des collectifs de personnes handicapées et des organisations connexes dans le processus d’élaboration des politiques du handicap au Japon et envisage de nouvelles formes de collaborations pour résoudre les problèmes politiques à venir, en s’appuyant sur l’étude des mouvements sociaux, des interactions stratégiques et de l’action collective coopérative. Il montre, dans un premier temps, comment la question de la dépendance persistante des personnes handicapées vis-à-vis des institutions résidentielles et des membres de leur famille s’est imposée comme un problème fondamental de la politique japonaise du handicap, à la suite de la tragédie de Tsukui Yamayuri-en en 2016. Il retrace ensuite les grandes lignes de la politique japonaise du handicap depuis les années 1960 afin de bien saisir l’origine du problème en relation avec les mouvements des personnes handicapées et de leur famille. Deux exemples de coopération avec des collectifs de personnes handicapées et des organisations affiliées, qui ont eu lieu dans les années 2010, au moment de la ratification de la CDPH, sont présentés. Enfin, des pistes de collaboration plus étroite entre les collectifs de personnes handicapées et les organisations apparentées, en particulier les organisations de parents/familles, sont proposées en vue de favoriser l’émancipation des personnes handicapées vis-à-vis des institutions et de libérer les familles des responsabilités de leur prise en charge. |
