This chapter examines the strategies employed by the administration of President Javier Milei to dismantle Argentina’s administrative capacities and realign the state apparatus with an openly anarcho-capitalist and anti-“woke” political project. It contributes to the literature on state capacity and bureaucratic politics by showing how elected governments can leverage institutional weaknesses—such as a fragmented civil service, discretionary organizational rules, and an unstable bureaucratic structure—to erode the administrative foundations that enable policy continuity and democratic governance. Empirically, the chapter documents sharp cuts in public employment, deep cabinet restructuring, and severe budget reductions, and then zooms into two emblematic cases—the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity and the Ministry of Environment—to illustrate how ideologically targeted downgrading and defunding erode administrative capacity and reverse recent institutional gains. The chapter concludes that Milei’s dismantling of administrative capacities is both a product and driver of democratic backsliding, and that rebuilding a minimally professional and capable state—should a different coalition gain office—will likely require years or even decades.
