The closest in spirit to a control theoretic approach to politics is Bruno deMesquita’s Dictator’s Handbook model. Most people who try to apply the technical letter of control theory rather than the spirit of it to social systems fail badly.

The problems of parameter uncertainty, unmodeled dynamics curse of dimensionality, identification/control tradeoffs under instability... all totally kill the idea. It’s all barely tractable with physical systems.
