Political instruments for the handling of instability The relation between politics and instability is ambiguous. On the one hand the desire of mankind is stability, security and foreseeable living conditions. On the other hand the history of mankind is a history of instability because if things are not moving forwards we can not get better living conditions. The definition of politics is very different. In this respect you can say politics has always to try to find an acceptable way of handling the instability under the conditions of human rights and earths preservation for the next generation. For totalitarian systems everything can be done by brutal power to hinder or exhilarate instability. For democratic systems you have to look on legislation at administration, on political culture and on education. The aims of economy and social security are intermingled with the information and especially with ethics because the priority of mankind decides what kind of stability and instability is chosen. It is the open question of the perspective of politics narrow days all over the world, how preservation is accepted as a prevailing political aim.
