Socio-synergetic approach to the problem of state genesis

The article is devoted to the determination of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the socio-synergetic approach to the problem of state genesis. The state here appears to be a universal self-organizing political system, a product of social evolution that emerged as an institution that is able to provide self-preservation to a certain contingent of people - by bearers of the will of an attractive goal-setting, developing in the form of a speculative-organizational form of systemic stability, periodically undergoing adaptive-alternative transformation. It is heuristic to use the idea of self-preservation (stability) as a system-forming factor for analyzing the processes taking place in the system, because it reflects its essence, which determines all mechanisms and patterns of both the origin and development of the system. The considered mechanism underlies the state organization of society and is the essence of its systemic development.
