The word "solution" has too much of engineering / hard sciences connotations for my liking.

Organising society is a process and the criteria of what can be considered a successful one are not stable on historic time scale unless you want to take the social darwinism approach.

You're right, "solution" has too much finality to it. How about "approach" as a replacement word that doesn't break the grammar above?

Sure, "approach" will work.
