The aim of this chapter is to examine the strategies employed by Japanese automobile manufacturers in East Asia in the context of the post-crisis transformation of the region’s political economy. Flying-geese (FG)-type models of foreign direct investment (FDI) have made valuable contributions to our conceptual understanding of Japanese MNC FDI, the international division of labour and economic development in East Asia. However, the increasingly diverse and complicated reality of the contemporary political economy may render these models overly simplistic and consequently of limited analytical value.
