Objective: In the late 1980s, the attributes of the State were seen as fundamental requirements for quality of life, constituting its State Capacity. Through analysis of research on the subject, it is possible to better understand how studies have been developed. The objective of this work was to know the panorama of publications on the theme State Capacity, in the Period 2009- 2019, in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Method: We carried out a bibliometrics/scientometrics considering the publications between the period 2009-2019 in eight stages of analysis, defining and identifying: database, search filters, authors and most cited terms, references, cooperation between authors, place of research and emergence of new expressions. Also, was used the web-based app Bibliometrix to expand the analysis. Originality/Relevance: Combines both the quantitative aspects of publications dealing with the theme State Capacity and the content aspects, seeking a comprehensive analysis, under the logic of multiple paradigms. Results: It was possible to identify seven categories of studies in specific areas of State Capacity. The analysis showed that the theme is under development, with a multiplicity of concepts and approaches, with the emergence of new areas as a research focus. The studies converge to a perspective of the State's capacity as multidimensional, formed by (sub)capacities, which represent the varied possibilities of government action. Theoretical/Methodological contributions: It shows the focus (categories) of the research, the subjects associated with the study proposals, the locations studied, as well as the collaboration networks, and the publication flows of the authors.
