Summary/Abstract: Regulation and administration are complex and composite categories that have at least two basic meanings: a) object management (e.g. industrial production), and b) ruling over subjects (e.g. the exercise of political power and force). The modern thought of "decomposing" the socio-tchnological complexity of "management-ruling" forms at the beginning of the XIX century with the idea that "ruling over people, should be substituted by management over objects". Theoretically, two main approaches two regulation can be identified: a) the legal and political approach: which sees social regulation as an attribute of state, defining it as the so-called legal function of state power: b) the socio-tehnological approach: that sees social regulation as a management activity, i.e. a specific activity of organized human communities. The turning point in the methodology and technology of regulation, originates and develops in the second half of the XX century, with the appearance of cybernetics, the application of mathematical models and implementation of information technology in the management of complex production and regulatory processes. Consequently, this creates preconditions for the appearance of complex interdisciplinary theories of the regulatory processes and regulatory institutions, as well as for new approaches to the regulation of social processes. Social regulation, is a form of regulation that does not approach the matter as "ruling over subjects", but as a communication process of legitimate interest interaction according to preset standards (with the aim of neutralizing the negative contingency effects that stem from the possible non-legitimate behavior of others in social interaction).
