“…The study will show that historical and procedural conditions in the respective national cases broadly influenced the interest-led decisions of political actors crafting new institutions. It recognises that similar findings drawn from post-socialist states in Eastern Europe (Lijphart 1992, Nohlen / Kasapovic 1996, Krohn 2003, Bos 2004) are transferable to Africa.…”

Scholars of institutional design attribute large importance to the choice of new institutions.The comparative analysis of how Rwanda and Zambia crafted their new electoral systems and the systems of government regards procedural, structural and rational choice variables which may influence the option for particular solutions. External influences and the type of transition are determinants that can decide which actors make their interests prevail. The degree of innovation or conservatism of new institutions is mainly a result of the speed of the process and the kind of actors involved. However, rational reflections on how to produce legitimacy and minimize personal risks which take into consideration the state of conflict in the country decide on the speed and on innovative outcomes. The structured analysis of only two cases uncovers already that it is rather difficult to realise the transfer of design recommendations into reality.
