Abstract
This article critically discusses the way in which some common readingsin political theory have conceived the role of the State in
reducing it to a set ofinstitutions that have as their main purpose to secure order, provide security, andsocial stability. The study
pays special attention to the role of the State in both: thegovernment apparatus,, and in “public” institutions —bureaucracy, army,
police,courts, social security system, etc.—, responsible for the collective organization ofsocial life. The article also proposes a
critical reading of the “Failed State” concept,and some theoretical elements from approaches that identify the State as a
uniformand monolithic entity in introducing some of the ideas proposed in the “State inSociety” approach by Joel Migdal (2010) that
are related to an alternative field ofstudy or interdisciplinary methodology called anthropology of the State.
