National Human Resource Development: What in the World Is It?

University of Minnesota, St. Paul

The problem and the solution. Recent exploratory research has affirmed the variations in understanding of the meaning of human resource development (HRD) from country to country based on a number of identifiable characteristics of the country. One area identified in the definitions of some countries, which was different from that found in the United States and in some other countries, was a focus on HRD as national policy. The purpose of this issue of ADHR, then, is to explore how HRD is viewed as national policy around the world.

Key Words: national HRD • global HRD • international HRD
