Abstract	This paper discusses the function of human resources training in the modernization of East Asian countries. The old academy system formed some basic principles in East Asian societies which could be called “academy traditions,” including independent public space, the political concern of the nations, and a strong sense of social responsibility. The early university system in East Asia was a mixture of Eastern culture and Western technology. The Western organization and discipline system was widely set up to train scientists and engineers, while old “academy traditions” became the ideological basis of politicians and strategists, and the balance of East and West made it possible for East Asian authoritarian countries to promote the process of economic development and modernization. The new wave of globalization in the late 20 century has broken the balance; “academy traditions” face the danger of perishing with modernization, which could result in the stagnation of economic and social development. The possibility of rebuilding the “academy traditions” lies with the universities; we should open a channel to establish communication between society and universities based on the common needs of communities.
