Este capítulo es una miscelánea de temas El trabajo tiene por finalidad presentar y profundizar en algunos aspectos del Informe sobre Desarrollo Humano Perú 2009 que propone el concepto “Densidad del Estado” para acercarse a una cuantificación de la provisión estatal de servicios sociales básicos (documentos de identidad, educación, etc.) en las provincias del Perú. Se presentan también algunos de los resultados estadísticos del Informe. El aporte más original del artículo consiste en el análisis de la relación entre Estado y sociedad desde el punto de vista del enfoque de las capacidades. ABSTRACT The core of the paper analyses the State functionings in the process of providing basic social services (education, health, identity documents, etc.) in the provinces of Peru. The concept “Density of the State” is designed to elaborate an index (SDI) to quantify State´s territorial presence. Since such activity is not a one-sided affair, the paper analyses the elements involved in the complex interaction between State and society. A summary of the main statistical results at the provincial level is provided and also a contrast between the SDI and the HDI. The paper is a summary and conceptual extension of the UNDP-Peru Human Development Report 2010 where the authors participated as part of the consulting team that elaborated it.
