When we talk about bureaucratic capacity, what are we talking about? A theoretical and empirical review of the concept
Abstract
This work aimed to analyze the concept of bureaucratic capacity based on some behaviors, attributes and relationships that define it in the international theoretical framework and, in the lines of research in Colombia that apply it in the search for understanding the functioning of the public bureaucracy. The tracing shows the reflections and challenges of the theories of bureaucracy in the face of the different scopes that have been attributed to said concept over time. The conclusions highlight the importance of evaluating the concept of bureaucratic capacity in terms of the diversity of local contexts in which local public administrations operate.
