This book addresses how individual, social and cultural factors intersect during development by bringing together an international group of scholars with diverse theoretical perspectives who conduct research in varied cultural contexts. The first section of the book focuses on how wider contexts of development are structured through interactions among individual, social and cultural processes. Specific chapters in this section focus on how the wider cultural context is constituted and enacted by individuals, including children and their caregivers, as they engage in social interactions.

In Exploring the Dynamics of Human Development, Dr. Catherine Raeff constructs a theoretical framework that enables readers to reconcile seemingly...
