“…Writers have begun to address the outcomes or impacts of globalization on child and adolescent development, including both risks and prospects or opportunities (e.g., Kaufman, Rizzini, Wilson, & Bush, 2002;McDade & Worthman, 2004;Thompson, 2002). Of some interest have been the entanglements of local, national, and global strands relative to child development as well as the experiences of those who are marginalized (Arnett, 2002;Grixti, 2006;Kaufman et al, 2002).
