13. The flying geese model of industrial development, first discussed in the 1930s by Kaname Akamatsu, is a model of regional co-operative economic development vertically structured through which the industrial product cycle passes. Japan heads the formation, followed by a second tier of East Asian NICs and a third tier of developing countries pursuing export-led growth. See Bruce Cumings, “The origins and development of the Northeast Asian political economy: industrial sectors, product cycles, and political consequences,” in Frederic Deyo (ed.), The Political Economy of the New Asian Industrialism (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1987).

Although the term East Asian Economic Circle is sometimes used interchangeably with Asia-Pacific Economic Circle, the latter includes the U.S., Canada and Australia and does not imply the flying geese model.
