In addition to the presentation of views and arguments related to the case stories presented, there are descriptions of the application of the CRPD on mental health legislation in China, Egypt, Fiji, France, Georgia, Germany, Mexico and Scotland - countries differing in their legal tradition, income and level of resources invested into mental health care.

World mental health report
The 'World Mental Health Report: Transforming Mental Health for All' by the World Health Organization (WHO) addresses the urgent need to improve mental health care globally. This comprehensive report aims to reshape attitudes and actions towards mental health, emphasizing the integration of mental health into primary health care systems to achieve universal coverage. It highlights the increased prevalence of mental health disorders due to the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies economic gaps and barriers in public mental health services.

It outlines strategies for mental health promotion, prevention, and the restructuring of care services. Designed for policymakers, health professionals, and global leaders, the report calls for collaborative efforts to ensure mental health is valued, protected, and accessible to all, free from stigma.

Rethinking Globalization
Annotation Reveals conceptual foundations of global processes, describes the political economy of high-tech global production, and challenges its authenticity and inevitability. Argues that policy is driven by a technocratic mindset that addresses social and ecological problems through ineffective half-measures, and shows that the most compelling examples of social improvement stem from grassroots activism and social movements.
