AI-generated Abstract
The paper discusses the complex interplay between economic development and political dynamics, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. It highlights the challenges posed by increasing inequality, social policies, and political strategies that can both aid and hinder development. The analysis points to the risks associated with targeted social assistance, the emerging demands of a growing middle class, and how mismanagement of public services can ignite political discontent. Ultimately, the findings reflect on the implications of these dynamics for future policy-making and the political landscape.

Part III. GLOBAL TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES Advances in Development Reverse Global Inequality Trends
2014
In recent decades countries have gone through unprecedented growth in human development. In 1980, there were two countries with a human development index near to or higher than 0.90, now there are 22. It is a well-established fact that growth in human development is positively related with economic growth. Largely as a result of this correspondence, Ranis posited a positive feedback loop between countries with high economic growth and human development (a ‘virtuous cycle’) and countries with stagnant or negative economic growth and human development (a ‘vicious’ cycle). Using longitudinal statistical analysis we show that there is an ‘old model’ of the relationship between human development and economic growth that supports the existence of these cycles and a ‘new model’ that refutes them. This is good news since the vicious-virtuous cycles imply that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer whereas the ‘new model’ shows a conditional and eventual absolute convergence between ric...
Advances in Development Reverse Global Inequality Trends
Globalistics and Globalization Studies 3 (2014): 164–183
In recent decades countries have gone through unprecedented growth in human development. In 1980, there were two countries with a human development index near to or higher than 0.90, now there are 22. It is a well-established fact that growth in human development is positively related with economic growth. Largely as a result of this correspondence, Ranis posited a positive feedback loop between countries with high economic growth and human development (a ‘virtuous cycle’) and countries with stagnant or negative economic growth and human development (a ‘vicious’ cycle). Using longitudinal statistical analysis we show that there is an ‘old model’ of the relationship between human development and economic growth that supports the existence of these cycles and a ‘new model’ that refutes them. This is good news since the vicious-virtuous cycles imply that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer whereas the ‘new model’ shows a conditional and eventual absolute convergence between rich and poor countries in terms of human development. We show that this change is due to two factors: The rise in middle and high developed countries and the high rates of economic growth and human development among somewhat poor and mid-level countries. Our findings correspond to those published in Nature by Myrskylä, Kohler and Billari (2009) demonstrating that for countries at the high end of the human development index (HDI), between 0.85 and 0.95, there occurs a reversal of the previously well-established negative, development-fertility relationship. Our research, supportive of Myrskylä et.al's findings, demonstrates a more complex relationship between HDI and economic growth rates than previously thought and that socio-cultural factors independent of economic or human development should be taken into account to construct a fuller model of rates of change in economic and human development.
Are Poor Countries Coming Closer to the Rich
Economic and Political Weekly, 1997
The growth patterns during the last three decades did not show any sign of convergence. A typically poor country in the early 1960s did not experience a higher real growth. Hence there is no catching up of the standard of living of the rich countries by the poor countries.
