Objective: In this theoretical essay, we aim to discuss how public administration, by approaching the concepts of space and territory, can make more substantive advances towards development, overcoming or mitigating the ills of globalization.
Theoretical framework: Public administration takes on the mission of leading nations to development, but faces obstacles, which deepen with the advent of globalization. When discussing globalization phenomenon, Milton Santos (2008a) denounces its contradictions, revealing the existence of two antagonistic realities. As fable or perversity, globalization mirrors its contradictions in the strands of development. In the dialectic between global and local, the State weakens. Public administration has in geographic space its main weapon to curb the perversities of globalization (Santos, 2008a).
Results: We show, through five propositions, how space and territory can contribute for public administration to obtain advances in the scope of development.
Originality: The article brings public administration closer to the conceptions of space and territory, a relationship that has long been lost, and presents a questioning of the history of the relationship between public administration and development, in light of globalization.
Theoretical and practical contributions: The article brings the contributions of geography to think about how public administration can reassume its role in development, helping to rethink the role of the State in this process.
