Abstract: Understanding the nature of competence in the international workplace, in diplomatic circles, in the board rooms of major worldwide companies and organizations, in counseling clinics and hospitals, in multicultural schools, and in a wide variety of other settings is one of cross-cultural psychology’s most important goals. Researchers have responded accordingly, producing much knowledge in the area for decades. Yet, much of that knowledge has not been compiled in a single place. For that reason we thought that having a Special Issue on the topic was timely and noteworthy. In response to a Call for Papers in 2011, we received 28 promising manuscripts. Aided by valuable comments by a number of reviewers, a total of 9 survived our review process. We thank the reviewers for their talent and time. Three of the coeditors were either senior or junior authors of 4 of the articles. Because of this, we took the usual step of making sure none of them were involved in reviewing their own manuscripts. In this brief introduction, we describe the backdrop of the articles presented here, and the major research issues they touch on.
