Abstract
As has become our tradition, we begin this new issue by wishing our readers a happy new year in 2022. This editors’ note introduces volume 12 of Regions & Cohesion, our second as an open access journal. Already we view 2022 as a promising new year. The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us, but we are showing signs of adaptation at different levels. The arrival of the Omicron variant has resulted in fewer fatalities than previous variants. New vaccines and alternative treatments are being developed, and despite numerous logistical, political, and ideological challenges, the percentage of the vaccinated global population is increasing (Shet et al., 2022). These developments, combined with promising research on neonatal immunity and children’s immune tolerance indicate that we are heading in the direction of increased resilience.
按照我们的传统,我们以祝读者在2022年新年快乐开始这期新刊。本编者按介绍了《区域与凝聚力》的第12卷,这是我们的第二本开放获取期刊。我们已经将2022年视为充满希望的一年。COVID-19大流行仍在我们身边,但我们正在不同程度上显示出适应的迹象。欧米克隆变种的到来比以前的变种造成了更少的死亡。新的疫苗和替代疗法正在开发中,尽管存在许多后勤、政治和意识形态方面的挑战,但全球接种疫苗人口的百分比正在增加(Shet et al., 2022)。这些发展,加上关于新生儿免疫和儿童免疫耐受的有希望的研究表明,我们正朝着增强复原力的方向前进。

期刊介绍:
Regions & Cohesionis the journal of the Consortium for Comparative Research on Regional Integration and Social Cohesion (RISC), a cross-regional, interdisciplinary, and multilingual network of socially conscious and prestigious research institutes in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on the human and environmental impacts of regional integration processes. It disseminates conceptual and empirical research (articles) and normative analysis (Leadership Forum) of topics related to human and environmental security, social cohesion, and governance. The journal facilitates a cross-regional intellectual dialogue on timely political, social and environmental issues from a regional perspective and is especially committed to publishing scholarship from emerging/transition countries and developing states. Its multilingual (English, Spanish and French) and interdisciplinary character contribute to the journal’s originality in providing an inclusive forum for scholars and practitioners in different world regions to engage in important international discussions related to sustainable human development. This dialogue reflects RISC’s mission of connecting scholars and practitioners from different world regions who otherwise would not have the opportunity to interact.
