COMPLETA, Enzo Ricardo. STATE CAPACITY, CAPACITY GAPS AND INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING. anal.polit. [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.87, pp.60-76. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v29n87.60720.

In this work it is investigated about the reasons that explain the resurgence of the concept of state capacity in the field of public management in Latin America, problematizing the different conceptions and existing theoretical approaches on it to then advance in the elaboration of a definition of instrumental character, far away from a perspective that is only interested in results, typical of the New Public Management model. In a second moment it is pondered about possible gaps or capacity deficits and there are criterions suggested for institutional strengthening strategies that improve the performance of the State.

Palavras-chave : State capacity; capacity gap; institutional strengthening; results.
