This article provides a comparative analysis of National Human Resource Development (NHRD) Plan implementation in Korea, the United States, and Japan. This study demonstrates that Korea is in a position very different from America`s and Japan`s with their unified NHRD Plans. First, while Korea provides systematic legal support in order to realize the NHRD Plan, especially with the enactment of the Human Resource Development Act, Japan and the United States lack such a legal basis. Second, from the perspective of systems to promote cooperation and participation, Korea has a key minister in charge of policy enforcement and an interagency process. Third, to win funding and support from policy-makers, Korea, the United States, and Japan fully recognize the importance of NHRD Plans and make their best efforts to win budget and support from top decision-makers. Fourth, in terms of the substantiality of annual enforcement plans, Korea has rather abstract criteria and less consistency in implementation. Fifth, as far as active publicity efforts are concerned, Korea lags behind Japan and the United States.

Historical Reflection

The nature of the Serampore Brotherhood is important both for its influence on later history and for its relevance to unresolved structural quarrels today, in which even the United States government is involved. New misson agencies are forming all over the globe in increasing numbers, and they are picking their patterns without a great deal of historical reflection. This article does not evaluate the Brotherhood from the standpoint of its mission strategy, but in terms of its human resource development and maintenance—as a mutually accountable, self-governing fellowship that may be the most important single dimension of a mission outreach.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore recent national human resource development (NHRD) practices in China through a literature review focusing on programs and activities that represent the roles and interactions among the government, industry and universities. Design/methodology/approach To effectively consolidate previous work and conceptualize the recent development of the NHRD practices in China, a semi-narrative literature review was used to explore and analyze NHRD-related functions and activities. Findings Findings from the literature review showed that although the central government still plays a predominant role in China, universities and corporations are increasingly playing a critical role in developing an innovative and skilled workforce. At the regional level, NHRD initiatives in China have been increasingly undertaken by universities, industry and government–industry–university collaborations. The authors also found a disparity between developed and underdeveloped regions in terms of NHRD in China. Research limitations/implications This study used the triple helix model as a framework that provides an insightful lens for researchers to examine how various social entities interact with each other and jointly contribute to NHRD. Further case studies are needed to generate evidence-based knowledge to the NHRD literature. Practical implications A more systematic NHRD leadership structure at both the national and local level is desired to unleash the potential of bottom-up development and active government–industry–university collaboration. To counter regional divergence in NHRD in China, intra- and cross-regional collaborations are helpful in improving resources distribution and workforce development. Originality/value Based on open system theory, this study focused on programs and activities that represent the roles and interactions among the government, industry and university in Chinese NHRD through the lens of the triple helix model. In addition, this study offers a conceptual model of Chinese NHRD to help scholars and practitioners understand the transitional efforts in NHRD.

The Many

This chapter reviews the development and growth of the policy-analytic profession. Historically, government decision makers have often called upon those with expertise to assist them in reaching their decisions. This chapter, however, concerns a new professional class of advisors that began developing during the 1950s in the United States. This new profession assists policy makers in understanding better their alternatives and relevant considerations for choosing among them. From here, the chapter offers some perspective on the research to date that has attempted to assess the effects of the profession—a perspective that emphasizes some important differences across the many types of governmental settings that utilize policy analysis, and the methodological difficulties that assessment efforts confront.
