control the crowd. This, in turn, creates certain difficulties for law enforcement agencies to disperse 
crowds. 
Political approach 
Currently, the research of public protests based on a political approach is becoming more 
relevant. Because external actors, or the country 
destructive forces inside, extremist organizations are using protests as an important tool for 
their goals. 
The advantage of using public protest as a tool is high, in which it is enough to incite the 
population to hold protest actions and thereby cause large-scale disturbances in derailing the 
political situation in the country. Most of the mass protests in the world today are based on a similar 
scenario. 
External actors are using a number of modern methods and tools to implement public 
protest. In this regard, specific concepts such as "Controlled Chaos" and "Smart Crowd" have also 
been developed. In these concepts, the main task is to artificially create mass protests and manage 
it. 
In his research, B.S.Boymurodov comments on the concept of "Managed Chaos" and 
mentions that a number of measures are taken to organize public protests. Organization of secret 
group, training of group members, active selection leading mass protests, development of strategy, 
formation of central power "intelligent crowd" and providing them with money, weapons, technical 
base. 
According to many Western scientists, there is no need to threaten this country with military 
force when subjugating a certain country, because the use of military force can have a negative 
effect on the country itself. There are more effective ways than high military spending, which is 
mainly to take advantage of the conflict in that country or region, or to create it artificially if there is 
no conflict. 
In this regard, E.Sh. Hayitov also mentions that the situation of political instability in the 
country may have been caused by external forces, that their actions are aimed at increasing 
instability, financing it, bringing candidates who are inclined to them to the top of the state, and 
based on this, conducting their own policies. 
S. Shakaryants focused on the events that took place in Iran in November 2019, and noted 
that the protests caused by the increase in gasoline prices were used by external forces to derail the 
situation in Iran, in particular, the active participants in the riots received special training in other 
countries under the guise of journalists and were brought into Iran with appropriate instructions. 
Many of the dead were actually killed by enemy forces, with the media suggesting that the Iranian 
government is being blamed. 
Sociological approach 
According to sociologists, public protests are a social phenomenon, the roots of which 
should be sought in the "public mood" prevailing in society, which is mainly characterized by the 
general psychological mood of the mass of people towards the events taking place in society. 
There are 3 situations that manifest the public mood in the society, the first: the level of 
satisfaction or dissatisfaction of the population with the created socio-political conditions, the 
second: the level of citizens' ability to realize their socio-political wishes, the third: the presence of 
the desire to change the existing created conditions. 
If we analyze each of the above 3 cases more broadly, in the first case, it is explained by the 
creation of certain conditions for the development and maturation of the population in the social, 
economic, political and other spheres of the life of the society by the state bodies and the current 
political authorities. For example, public services, education, health system, etc. The second 
situation is determined by the fact that the population can use these created conditions with equal
