Series Editor

This series provides a forum for theoretical, empirical, historical, and experimental analysis of issues related to economy and social inclusion and exclusion. Included are the interconnected problems of alienation, deprivation, discrimination, economic inequality, polarization, and prejudices caused by or related to abusive behavior, aging, depopulation, disability, the educational gap, the gender gap, natural disaster, poverty, rare diseases, war, and various other economic and social factors.

The common theme of the series is to examine how we can create an inclusive society that accommodates as many people as possible and promotes their welfare. We believe this should be the main goal of economics as a discipline. Society need not passively observe its inequality, social exclusion, and decline. Policy, institutions, and our actions matter. The series aims to enrich academic discourse, influence economic and social policy, and enlighten a global readership.

Methodologies adopted in this series are mainly economic theory, game theory, econometrics, statistical analysis, economic experiments, and disability studies. Psychology, sociology, legal studies, and medical sciences, among other disciplines, are also considered important related fields of study.

The interdisciplinary research taken up in the series utilizes these existing methodologies for the common goal of creating a society for all. Furthermore, progress in such interdisciplinary studies will contribute new insights to the development of economic studies. The major geographical targets of the series are Japan and other Asian countries but are not restricted to those areas. At the same time, however, the goal is to amplify the findings therein to universally applicable insights and knowledge.

Preface

This volume is a collection of interviews with the families of 18 people with an intellectual disability (ID) in Shanghai who have participated in the Special Olympics movement.

Special Olympics East Asia contacted a number of families and 4 of them agreed to be interviewed. Ms. Meizhen Zhou, from 1 of the 4 families, a Special Olympics family leader, successfully recruited another 13 families, the majority of which have sons or daughters on the drumming team of the Shanghai Hongkou District Disabled Persons Federation.The remaining family belongs to a Papa Johns employee with ID. Because the family has participated in the Special Olympics movement, interviews with this family are included in this volume.

The 18 subjects of this volume, each with ID, participated in the Special Olympics World Games, Special Olympics National Games, or community-level Special Olympics activities. Their experiences reflect the different levels of Special Olympics and its profound impact on people with ID.
