The paper argues that most existing definitions and theories of state capacity are too closely tailored to explaining a specific set of outcomes. The idea behind our own conceptualization is that state capacity can be defined as the strength of the causal relationship between the policies that governments adopt and the outcomes that they intend to achieve.</p><h2>Sponsors</h2><ul><li><a href="https://ces.fas.harvard.edu/study-groups/seminar-on-the-state-and-capitalism-since-1800">Seminar on the State and Capitalism since 1800</a></li></ul><p> </p>
