This article reviews the implementation of democracy and development in North Kolaka which combines three political forces: local boss (regent), businessmen (contractors) and bandits (robbers). The synergy of three local political forces controlled by the head of regions was able to change the 'face' of North Kolaka from underdeveloped to a developed region in Southeast Sulawesi. Local elections have an impact on economic development in North Kolaka. This portrait appears in the availability of infrastructure that can stimulate the economic society. The flow of goods, services, and people coming in and out of North Kolaka goes more smoothly along with an ability to control the security stability in this place that formerly known as the place of robbers operation (bandits). The absence of bandits coincided with the inclusion of their family members as part of elected government that succeeded in occupying essential positions as vice-regents. In addition to bandits, entrepreneurs play a significant role in democracy and development in North Kolaka. In the democracy arena, entrepreneurs are elected as party leaders at the local level as well as directly involved—fighting—or indirect—budgetary suppliers—in the struggle for political power—executive and legislative—at the local level. In the provision of infrastructure, entrepreneurs who are party leaders and have relations with regional heads (Rusda Mahmud) -are winning contracts for the work of development projects in North Kolaka. The execution of government projects is very stretching and grandiose, but also regarding collusion and nepotism. This paper concludes that democracy has a positive impact on economic development and security stability in North Kolaka, although it does not automatically lead to a clean government.
