In this article, the author is occupied in conceptualizing what is intended to be governability in the scope of the political system.First, explanatory factors of governability according to the different analysis of Social Sciences, are thoroughly identified.These indicators are organized into four groups, given their character of independent variables: 1)legitimacy and efficacy of the political system under democratic regimes; 2)situations of crisis of the political systems; 3)the problem of the fiscal deficit in western industrialized countries, from the point of view of different intelectual currents; 4)the problems of governance propers to developing countries.In second and final place, the author concludes that the theme of governability stays limited exclusively to the governmental scope, and that its achievement depends fundamentally on the effective capacity of government for maintaining legitimacy and promoting socioeconomic development, in a simultaneous way.
