The developmental state model is a term used for a particular type of government, in which specific features are used. The purpose of the present study is to examine the two theoretical models of the developmental government and the curse of resources in the field of Third World Development Studies in the Middle East in order to seek out the future of the region through the present reality. Therefore, this paper focuses on the question of how far the theory of the developing state is aligned with the Middle Eastern oil countries. The authors' hypothesis is that the components of the developing state, taking into account the scourge of resources in Middle Eastern oil countries This point is weakened by the negative effects of oil revenues resulting from inappropriate institutional structures, which has led to a lack of development in the region. To confirm this hypothesis and to arrive at a proper answer to the main question, the paper is set up on two main axes: In the first place, two theoretical discussions will be devoted to the theory of developmental government and the curse of resources. In the second axis, attempts are made to discuss the theoretical discussions with data from the Middle East and to arrive at certain results in response to the main question.

According to resource curse theory, not only the revenues from selling natural resources do not result in economic growth, but also have some unpleasant effects on economy. This study shows that natural resources cannot be considered curse by itself, but it is the management of revenues which is important. The foreign reserves fund was established to control the effects of oil price volatilities on Iranian economy, but the performance of this fund got apart from its purposes. On the other hand, Norway is a successful example of this mechanism. This paper, using a comparative approach and according to 3 indices of mechanism, clarity and performance, studies the management of foreign reserves of Iran and Norway to show that the effect of revenues from resources like oil on national economy depends highly on the way these revenues are managed.
