In the social sciences, a type of analytical explanation without a historical or social horizon has emerged, in which the State is assumed as a perennial entity, and not as the result of a historical becoming. Nor is it considered to be imbricated in specific, dynamic and contradictory social structures. This conservative vision, although relatively up-to-date, animates most explanations of the State and politics to this day. A large part of the social sciences deal with the object of politics and the State, identifying them with iuspositivism or on the basis of conservative theoretical-analytical tools, which restrict the phenomena apprehended to their immediately quantifiable, measurable or repeatable manifestations. At the same time, these manifestations may reveal average patterns of reproduction that, at certain historical intervals and under certain social conditions, endure in a relatively stable manner. But these middle patterns do not lead to a causal, structural, relational and historical understanding of the phenomena of politics and the State, nor of their problems, contradictions and crises.
