SOCIAL TENSION IN PUBLIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

From the viewpoint of the systemic approach in the context of interdisciplinary relations, without going beyond the framework of moderate positivism, it is shown that social tension in public systems is a characteristic of the joint activity of subjects with opposite interests. Based on the fundamental provisions of both natural and social science, the dual nature of social tension is revealed. A scientifically grounded method of measuring social tension gives a real possibility of its correction. The authors come to the conclusion that the problem of social tension in public systems, which is highly relevant, occupies a special place in social sciences, since it is directly related to the possibility of governing the society.
