Abstract:
The paper points out the impact of modern theory methods of synergetic over the analysis of sociology and economics. These methods are able to capture much more subtle and complicated issues on which the society rules are based. The society is a nonlinear system with a hierarchy of instabilities, entailing the occurrence of increasingly complex collective structures. The factors responsible for this innovative change are the fluctuations, the subjective elements or the unusual decisions which are basically neglected in the classic type models. Nevertheless, at the moment when the parameters of mechanisms related to the evolution and interaction between individuals reach a critical level, these non-essential innovative factors are encouraged and are able to overthrow the global order.
