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.
