Abstract

This paper attempts to conceptualise the forms of Public Administration from
the Marxist political economy. This research is exposed in two parts. In the first one we
stablish how the capitalist forms of production shape the State organizing activities. The
social necessary activities who can’t produce in commodity and/or in capitalist ways must
be developed in administrative forms by the state agencies and corporations. Through this
the contradiction and the complementation between accumulation and State. In the second
part of this research we analyse systematicaly the subject-matters, aims, and capacities of the
Public Administration.
