“…Here, “everyday care and support that people provide for one another within households and neighbourhoods” is supposed to be reconciled with the responsibility of the state as a provider of welfare resources and services (Dean, , p. 14). In Flanders, policy makers introduce the notion of “vermaatschappelijking van de zorg”, a catch‐all concept that is difficult to translate (see for a similar idea of a “Big Society” in the UK, see Goodley & Runswick‐Cole, ) and a “participation society” that has been formally introduced and implemented in the Netherlands (see Grootegoed, Broër, & Duyvendak, ; Koster, ; Van Hees, Horstman, Jansen, & Ruwaard, ). In Flemish disability policy, “the promotion of support of the social network (volunteer aid) in the direct environment of disabled people” is perceived as a central policy imperative (Department of Welfare, Public Health and Family Affairs, , p. 5, our translation).…”

Notions of citizenship and disability rights denote abstract, ambiguous, and contested principles, and realizing these ideas entails complexity in practice. This is particularly the case since the welfare state is no longer conceived as the principal provider of welfare services and resources in many European welfare states. In that vein, we critically analyze the underlying principles, rationales, values, and potential implications of the White Paper "Perspective 2020: a new support policy for disabled people" in Flanders (the Dutch speaking part of Belgium). We tease out which understanding of the disabled human subject is promoted by this so-called innovative social policy and excavate how policy makers and a diversity of actors involved in the policy implementation process consider the provision of care and support. Our main argument entails that the welfare state should acknowledge and vindicate differentiated manifestations of interdependency rather than reinforcing a dichotomy that is based on notions of in/dependent human subjects.
