顶尖全球大学项目于2014年启动，计划持续到2023年，是日本政府提出的一系列国际化项目中最新的一个，旨在促进全球人力资源(GHR)，并重振高等教育系统。然而，全球人力资源的概念仍然含糊不清，与属于全球能力保护伞的类似概念脱节。本文旨在通过对日本政府和全球顶尖大学发布的一系列政策和宣传文件的分析，来探讨日本高等教育中的GHR理念。此外，它将在Deardorff的跨文化能力金字塔模型(2006)之内和之外构建GHR框架，以便将日本人对GHR的看法置于国际化的背景下。结果表明，在高等教育学生中需要培养的关键态度、知识和技能方面存在一些共识，从而使日本教育利益攸关方能够勾勒出更具体的GHR概念。然而，为了使国际化战略能够成功地促进《全球卫生条例》，仍然缺乏重点，并强调必须解决数量产出问题。
The Top Global University Project, launched in 2014 and scheduled to run until 2023, is the most recent of a succession of internationalisation projects proposed by the Japanese government in an effort to foster global jinzai, i.e. global human resources (GHR), and revitalise the higher education system. Yet, the concept of GHR remains vague and disconnected from similar concepts falling under the global competence umbrella. This article aims to address the idea of GHR in Japanese higher education through the analysis of a range of policy and promotional documents issued by the government and by Top Global universities. In addition, it will frame GHR both within and beyond Deardorff's Pyramid Model of Intercultural Competence (2006) in order to situate Japanese perceptions of GHR in the context of internationalisation. Results indicate some consensus as regards key attitudes, knowledge, and skills to be fostered in higher education students, thus enabling Japanese educational stakeholders to move towards outlining a more concrete notion of GHR. However, there remains a lack of focus as well as an emphasis on quantitative outputs that must be addressed in order for internationalisation strategies to be able to successfully foster GHR.
