An ecosystems perspective on international human resource development (IHRD): a meta-synthesis of the literature.
  There has been significant growth of interest in both international human resource development (IHRD) and ecosystems research.

Ecosystems emphasize interdependencies, actor centrality, bargaining power and relationships between actors as important in shaping IHRD. We utilize a meta-synthesis of the IHRD literature to identify content and process dimensions of an IHRD ecosystem. We conclude with a discussion of implications for IHRD research.
