The Four Talent Giants: National Strategies for Human Resource Development Across Japan, Australia, China, and India
Author: Gi-Wook Shin
“In this sweeping analysis of talent development strategies, Gi-Wook Shin investigates how these four ‘talent giants’ achieved economic power and sustained momentum by responding to risks and challenges such as demographic crises, brain drain, and geopolitical tensions. This book offers invaluable insights for policymakers and is essential for scholars, students, and readers interested in understanding the dynamics of talent and economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.”
Shin is the William J. Perry Professor of Contemporary Korea and professor in the Department of Sociology as well as a senior fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and director of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at the institute.
