Developing Human Resources in Southeast Asia

A Holistic Framework for the ASEAN Community

Oliver S. Crocco · Palgrave Macmillan

The first systematic framework for understanding human resource development at the regional level in Southeast Asia. Argues that ASEAN's HRD ecosystem is a complex adaptive system shaped by the ASEAN Way of musjawarah and mufakat — deliberation and consensus — and traces emergence, convergence, and divergence across macro, meso, and micro dimensions of the region's HRD landscape.
