The ShakeOut Scenario is probably the most widely known and used earthquake scenario created to date. Much of the credit for its widespread dissemination and application lies with scenario development criteria that focused on the needs and involvement of end users and with a suite of products that tailored communication of the results to varied end users, who ranged from emergency managers to the general public, from corporations to grassroots organizations. Products were most effective when they were highly visual, when they emphasized the findings of social scientists, and when they communicated the experience of living through the earthquake. This paper summarizes the development criteria and the products that made the ShakeOut Scenario so widely known and used, and it provides some suggestions for future improvements.

The aim of the article is to present possible scenarios on maintaining democracy in the EU, while assuming different hypothetical directions in which it could develop as a federation, empire and Europe à la carte. Selected mechanisms, norms and values of the EU system that are crucial for the functioning of democracy in the European Union are the subject of this research. The abovementioned objective of scenario development is achieved through distinguishing the notions of policy, politics and polity in the research. In the analysis of the state of democracy in the European Union both the process (politics) and the normative approach (policy) have been adopted. The characterised norms, structures, values and democratic procedures in force in the EU will become a reference point for the projected scenarios. The projection refers to a situation when the existing polity transforms into a federation, empire or Europe à la carte. The article is to serve as a projection and is a part of a wider discussion on the future of the basis on which the European Union is build.


The research is actual, has a theoretical and applied nature. Theoretical developments at cost management branch of economic organization were illustrated by practical examples. In the work the follow methods are used: abstract-logical, methods of induction and deduction, system and situate approaches, methods of comparative analysis, analysis of breakeven, monographic analysis. The follow sources of information were used: literature, the results of the experimental investigations, carried out in Verkh-nevolzhsky Federal Agrarian Research Centre, observations, carried out at an agricultural organization. Theoretical structural model of cost management was created in a functional way, relationship between elements were designated in it, as well as driving forces of its realization were determined. Such terms as “cost management ” and «management accounting» were specified. The paradigm of a relation to cost process was described. Approaches to realization of cost management system of organization on the basis offlexibility principle were developed. The most important of them are: application of applied programs packages and special program means for computer, organization of feedback, account of functional relationship of cost with production results, cost accounting on elements, places of origin, carriers and centers of responsibility, as well as interactive approach. Some examples which show possibilities of using some instruments of cost management and management accounting for generation of management solutions were described. These instruments are: analysis and planning on the basis of standards of constant and variable costs and flexible cost management in interrelations to other subsystems in management system of organization (in this case it is with technology management. The work is of theoretical and practical significance.
