One of main problems of modern society there is complex safety of the difficult systems of different nature. Today the problems of creation of the difficult nonlinear dynamic reliable systems go out on the first plan. It stipulates exceptional theoretical and practical meaningfulness of the use of methods of synergetics in a management the systems. An improvement of the existent theoretical and methodological going is near organization of control system by economic security of enterprise from position of sinergistical approach. An increase of multi-variant approach of development of the economic systems is reason of change of methodology of economic researches and a nonlinear economic theory comes on changing to the traditional economic theory. Invariants, non-linearity, coherentness and factorable synthesis, are the base concepts of sinergistical theory of management. Any socio-economic system presents by a soba complex of functional subsystems, that is bound by inter se the processes of intensive dynamic cooperation, exchange information. Application of synergetics showed in researches of economy, that most cases have an evolution direction of that through nonlinear character of connections in the system is determined by the action of insignificant factors basic direction of motion of the socio-economic systems, as a rule, informative, that prove in bifurcational processes. The condition of development and viability of any enterprise are maintenances of dynamic equilibrium, that are the aim of the system of economic security of enterprise — it’s attractor. By principles of management of enterprise economic security from positions sinergistical approaches are: complication, non-linearity, dynamic. The system of economic security of enterprise is base on principle of feed-back. Leaning on sinergistical approach, set forth raising of sinergistical synthesis of nonlinear control system by economic security. Exactly sinergistical effects that are characterized as management results in the systems cause the change of quality, and are the adequate instrument of providing of economic security.

Did the nuclear revolution contribute to an era of peace? ‘Nuclear deterrence and arms control’ looks at the post-World War II stalemate and Cold War détente. The concept of deterrence did not come up until the second decade of the nuclear age. The introduction of thermonuclear weapons and nuclear-tipped, long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles turned foreign policy on its head. Mutual deterrence was less of a policy than a reality. With the Cuban Missile Crisis, Moscow mounted a show of defiance at a moment when it was relatively weak. The Carter and Reagan administrations were beset by external and internal disagreements, but prudence and luck prevailed.

The Dead

At the beginning of the nuclear age, there were no rules, no non-proliferation norms, no concepts of nuclear deterrence, and no taboo against using such weapons. ‘A choice between the quick and the dead’ examines developments in nuclear technology in terms of military and civilian uses of atomic energy, and efforts to tie international agreements with this new technology to control it. When Bernard Burach presented the United States's initial ideas for dealing with atomic weapons at the inauguration of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission in June 1946, he set the tone for many multilateral and bilateral discussions on arms control measures.

The analysis of the dynamics of the function intellectualization control agents’ development, which depends on the stages of formation and changes of technological structures in modern society, is presented. Sequential intellectualization of production factors associated with the development of skills management entities in the field of solving complex problems of choice, convergence of sciences in the techno-humanitarian space, as well as projective thinking – displaying mental variables on a variety of technical properties and characteristics of material objects in socio-economic systems. The article also shows that the main personal factors, the development of which should direct the attention of society, are the ability of a person, his education and mind (thinking). It is prove that their development requires special decision support tools that will ensure transparency, documentability and providing responsibility for possible consequences and attempts to manipulate the results of the choice. It also requires the desire and readiness of the management subject to internal and external interdisciplinary interaction between various scientific fields. The principles of projective control technology with feedback are being develop as a correction of the technical parameters of objects in accordance with the results of projective thinking. A number of classifiers for a variety of humanitarian ideas are introduce, represented by anthropic principles, contradictory attitudes, and various heuristics that can be strictly described by means of predicate calculus. They include the formation of algebraic systems based on modified subject-oriented operations of superposition and composition, as well as displays of ordinal scales on the relationship of scale to correct the parameters of artificial intelligence, modeling choice problem solution set of alternatives to the production process. The model example is given.

The nuclear revolution, it is argued, caused an era of relative peace. Not all agree. Some suggest that nuclear weapons were actually irrelevant to keeping the peace because a world war had become too costly. ‘Nuclear deterrence and arms control’ considers both sides of the argument. Not until the second decade of the nuclear age was the danger of nuclear weaponry and the perception of this danger enough to give impetus to the concept of deterrence and cause a Cold War stalemate. Deterrence did not emerge as a military strategy, it was just a political reality. Nuclear stability prevailed due to good luck and mutual prudence.
