FRAMEWORK TEÓRICO SOBRE MODELOS CLÁSSICOS DE ESTADO

Abstract

The objective was to develop a theoretical framework on State models, contextualizing the core of classical theories, the main variables and the historical context. Descriptive research was used to identify, analyze, characterize and detail the main qualifying attributes of the State's form of management at different moments in history. Through bibliographical research, classical theories were studied (modern State, absolute State, liberal State, welfare State and neoliberal State), and their core, the most distinctive characteristics under the historical panorama, were identified. Based on the literature review, the perceptions were synthesized into a theoretical framework demonstrating the historicity of the facts associated with the models studied. For theory, a perception compiled of historical, political, institutional and administrative facts of different models of the modern State is established. In practical terms, the formulation of public policies can be designed in line with the most assertive management attributes of the state entity. As a suggestion for future scientific studies, it is proposed that authors use the synthesis of qualifying attributes and historical context to identify representative indicators of each of them. Furthermore, using these indicators, they could develop multivariate models to verify which national states are more or less liberal, more or less social.
