Abstract

CHAIA DE BELLIS, Jonás. El Estado: sub-producto de la competencia por el liderazgo político: Aportes weberianos para repensar la politización de las burocracias. Doc. aportes adm. pública gest. estatal [online]. 2016, n.26, pp.127-157. ISSN 1851-3727.

The problem of bureaucratic autonomy and its possible politicization goes through several current discussions. In this article we propose a theoretical discussion that questions the predominant starting point of this works -i.e. the State's exogeneity regarding political processes that would allow the political colonization of public administration. On the contrary, and «bringing Weber back in», we will argue here that it's possible to observe the State as a result of material exchanges that leaders, threatened by political competition, must make to survive in power.

Keywords : State; Bureaucracy; Autonomy; Political survival; Leadership.
