This paper will give a general overview of active and passive stabilization systems, which are mainly required for future X-FEL and high energy linear colliders. Key physics requirements for beam stability for X-FELs and linear colliders will be introduced and resulting technical implications discussed. New and innovative approaches to the design and development of state-of-the-art linear accelerator components and stabilization systems will be reviewed, and recent results shown from selected prototypes and new machine installations.
