Abstract

This paper presents a multilevel framework and initial definition of Regional Human Resource Development (Regional HRD) via an examination of the role of human resource development (HRD) in the region of Southeast Asia and its regional governing institution, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This conceptual paper is informed by a review of 287 official documents published by ASEAN. Using a multilevel analysis, we propose a framework for Regional HRD in ASEAN and offer a preliminary definition of Regional HRD. The proposed framework of Regional HRD extends the current discourse on National HRD and Global HRD. We submit that Regional HRD in ASEAN is inextricably connected to National HRD of the 10 member countries of ASEAN. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
