Generally, its the same as the western economic development model which is described by Lester Brown as a ... fossil-fuel-based, automobile-centered, throwaway economy. One North American model is extractable, although not specifically offered as such, from the website of Industry Canada, which is a department of the National Government. The Mexican model is binational and tied to improving the status of low-skilled workers. The model includes efforts to break down all barriers to US trade and investment in Mexico, including the integration of the latter's workforce into that of US on the same as if all were Mexican Americans. The US economic development model is reflected by the lobbying efforts of the International Economic Development Council and its certification program for member practitioners. Woven through all of the above comments is the suggestion of a relationship between economic development and politics. Ted Levine, a guru of economic development marketing once observed that the great practitioners understand that the process includes politics.

See information about The Contribution of Joseph Schumpeter to Economics: Economic Development and Institutional Change by Richard Arena and Cécile Dangel-Hagnauer at www.questia.com (source). Schumpeter coined the term economic development when he wrote The Theory of Economic Development in 1911. More information under the definition of industrial revolution in the .network glossary. Who provides professional recognition for economic development practitioners? Nothing beats experience or recognition by economic development prospects. On the academic side of the question, take a look at so called basic industrial development courses and the Industrial Development Institute at the University of Oklahoma/Norman where the process of providing professional recognition for practitioners began in North America (1962). The American Industrial Development Council introduced an Advanced Symposium in 1965 which was integrated into the IDI Year III program in 1989 after AIDC became AEDC (American Economic Development Council) and the Institute became EDI (Economic Development Institute). In the mid-1970s a certification was tacked on to the Institute program. Certification continues today under IEDC (International Economic Development Council). Recognition of professional achievement by those who are classified as prospects was provided the the International Development Research Council during the last 20 years of that organization's existence. IDRC recognition was awarded for outstanding, as opposed to academic, achievement in the form of a Master Professional designation (example) for resource and service providers engaged in enterprise and economic development.
