Abstract
After World War II, economic development in Asia appeared to quicken, which once dubbed the Asian miracle by the World Bank. This miracle forms a sharp contrast to the economic stagnation at the same period in Latin America, and as such has prompted much research into the reasons for its success. As early as the 1930s Japanese scholars put forward the flying geese formation development model, which became one of the theoretical frameworks for explaining the Asian miracle.
