Description
INTRODUCTION The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) developed an integrated-thematic approach to human resource development (HRD). It thereby provided a capstone to an intellectual legacy that began with ideas put forth by T.W. Shultz and other early human capital theorists. However, many modern theorists remain skeptical about the approach, believing that it is too abstract to be implemented in a meaningful way. With this point in mind, it is useful to consider whether two elements of Thailand's overall national economic development strategy are examples of successful adaptation and implementation of UNESCAP's capstone to HRD theory. One element is the country's Sufficiency Economy concept and the second is its One Tambon One Product (OTOP) program.
