Introduction

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the needs to improve sociological theory, focused on the analysis of non equilibrium and nonlinear evolution of modern society. Classical and non classical paradigms and theoretical models have been applied to studies of social processes in an industrial society, are not sufficient to reflect the complex interaction and interdependence of factors, rationality and irrationality, of individual and collective rationality, centralized management solutions that have become social realities of today. In sociological theory was created and is widespread number of concepts that are used for understanding the nonlinear dynamics of modern society and changes the nature of social action. These concepts include self-organization, used as social systems, institutions and networks, as well as to the actions of individuals. Therefore, all the issues related to Sociological Theory will be discussed in detail.

Discussion

The concept of self-organization was confirmed in sociology at the turn of twentieth century. It is usually associated with the development of sociological paradigm.
