Yes, based on polling data, civil unrest, interpersonal moods, etc.
Someone wrote a scholarly work on that, just a few months ago. I don't remember the person's name, but they were interviewed on the Daily Show. The book had a big "J" on the cover, and dealt with the ways to measure the stability of a society, relative to its current political and social climate.

Calculus will not help you solve that particular problem because it wasn’t designed to. There is nothing close to a mathematical equation(s) or simulation that can answer that question.
However, trained social scientists can provide reasonable qualitative and quasi probabilistic models for possible outcomes based on some set of parameters. However, that does not mean anyone will listen. Everyone with any knowledge of the Middle East knew that Iraq would end up in a civil war and Bush’s plan would fail and leave us with a big mess, but he refused to listen.
