Abstract
Few researchers have investigated the issue of resource curse as a political factor in Indonesia's current development. So far, the literature has only explained the economic factors that influence the middle-income trap's condition. This article aims to examine the issue of development in Indonesia because of the resources curse from the standpoint of political economy. The Indonesian case is particularly well-suited to investigating theories of the middle- resource curse. To investigate this research puzzle, I use quantitative methods. I conduct quantitative research to create a model of the relationship between natural resources and democracy quality, and then the relationship between democracy and development. The dataset is produced by combining the data from Indonesia Democracy Index, Human Development Index and some government and media reports. This paper argues that there is a resource curse at the subnational level; provinces with abundant natural resources have a negative relationship with political institutions. This research also finds that there is a positive relationship between democracy quality and development. Higher in democracy means higher in the quality of development. Keywords: development, resource curse, democracy
