Abstract

This paper analyzes the role of the State and government in development. In the
first part, the approach used is delimited and the needs and real possibilities of public participation
in the development process are specified, concluding with the need to reform the
public administration. The scope of action of both the State and the government is considered
after. The former includes governance; economic institutions and security; while the latter
covers national infrastructure in a broad sense, fiscal and financial sector management,
social policies, public services, and productive development. Its conclusion leads to the notion
that “correct” policies are not enough, without the institutional support they require.
