Abstract
The article analyzes the approaches to the understanding of the state apparatus from the point of view of the efficiency of its functioning. The methodological basis of modern studies is the sociological theory of Max Weber, who high-lighted the attributive characteristics of the bureaucratic system as the most effective form of government. The evolution of his proposed ideas in the process of development of society in general and the state apparatus in particular is considered. Important aspects in the approaches to efficiency evaluation, which should be taken into account in practical application, are noted.
