Between the time this volume was conceptualized and its publication, the world has seen dramatic changes as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes that have directly impacted international relations and globalization. Because this issue of Human Development deals with insights and alternatives regarding globalization, culture, and development, the consequences of the pandemic are linked to the presentation of four specific articles based on invited addresses given at the 2019 Jean Piaget Society conference on the title topic. Beginning with this article, this volume aims to explore five themes: multiple pathways of development; the importance of understanding context for understanding development; using mixed methods; implications for interventions; and implications for how to engage people in diverse societies, even as those societies are changing.

全球化，文化与发展：概念，澄清和关注

从本书概念化到出版发行，这段时间之间，COVID-19大流行使世界发生了巨大变化，这些变化直接影响了国际关系和全球化。因为这个人类发展问题在探讨有关全球化，文化和发展的见解和替代方案时，大流行的后果与根据2019年Jean Piaget Society会议标题主题的邀请发表的四篇具体文章的展示有关。从本文开始，本册旨在探讨五个主题：多种发展途径；了解情境对于理解发展的重要性；使用混合方法；对干预的影响；以及在这些社会不断变化的情况下如何使人们参与各种社会的意义。
