Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the state work in pursuit of the development of infrastructure, promotion of economic and social activities in Loreto between 1899 and 1900, at a crucial period in our history: the Aris-tocratic Republic. In order to study this type of material and social modernization we concentrate on the figure and management of Joaquín Capelo, Special Commissioner of the Supreme Government of Eduardo López de Romaña and Prefect in the Department of Loreto as someone who represents the rise of a new type of official and a new form of public administration and management. This article is addressed from political history, because it describes and analyzes state policies within the modernizing projects addressed to Loreto.
