How each model solves the same problems
Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | + Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | The president and RPF leadership set policy; a consensual multiparty forum, a parliament that rarely challenges the executive, national plans and annual performance contracts (imihigo) for officials. | Unknown | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Courts subordinate to the executive in political cases; community mediators (abunzi) for local disputes; gacaca courts for genocide crimes (2005–2012). | Unknown | |
| How are public goods funded? | Community health workers and near-universal health insurance, schooling, roads and electrification, financed by taxes, aid and RPF-linked investment companies. | Unknown | |
| How is AI used? | Digitised public services and drone delivery of medical supplies; no algorithmic political decision-making is documented. | Unknown | |
| What are the main risks? | Dependence on one leader and party, repression that removes feedback, aid dependence, regional conflict in eastern Congo, and unresolved grievances that cannot be voiced.CLM-1146 | Unknown |
