Zusammenfassung:This article presents an overview of the main critical approaches to the state from two social sciences in apparently different paths: anthropology and public administration. We review different critical views to the role of the state, and to the theories themselves, and their evolution over time from a swinging metaphor. The swings characterize the cumulative advances in theories, approaches and explanations that come and go in search of the state, and question its impact and its role in society. Based on this framework, we introduce thetexts that are part of this issue. They contribute to the construction of critical perspectives of the state from the social sciences in Latin America.
