This paper is an attempt of application of the concept of political administration that has been developed over the past ten years at the Center for Research on Institutions and Public Policies (Nipp) of the Business Administration School of the Federal University of Bahia, in Brazil. Political administration is understood as the State¿s managerial capability or the way by which it organizes and structures itself to administrate the social relations involved in the production process. The paper intends to verify the theoretical applicability of the political administration concept to the study of the evolution and dynamics of the contemporary State. It presents as case-study the comparative analysis of the Brazilian and Spanish experiences in the period between 1930 and 1970. The paper is part of a PhD thesis that analyzed the welfare policies in authoritarian states.
