Abstract

An important shiff has occured in the study of the state organization during the last decades. We offer a critical view of those interpretations, analysing the subject with a concrete methodology. The author distinguishes between a metropolitan perspective (transfer of institutions to America and transfer of ideological-political contents) and a hispanoamerican one (creation of socioeconomical structures and regional-local identities) with the aim of concluding that the formation of independent states and their structures come from colonial times. The regional diversity, the singularity of each process and the role played by the criollo elite are emphasized.
