The purpose of the workshop was to make final decisions about manuscripts submitted for a special issue on Stabillity, Democracy and Rights and to write an introduction to the volume. This is an outcome of the MAGAART conference held in Nepal in December 2016. Accepted manuscripts will be published in Globe: a journal on language, culture and communication. The editorial board consists of Professor Florence Indede, (Chair) Maseno University, Professor Charles Okumu, Gulu University and Professor Inger Lassen, Aalborg University. The special issue will come out at the beginning of 2018.
