Abstract

The Round Table had three objectives. First, to present the findings of the research project to stakeholders, such as scholars who have studied the same or related issues of governance, the governance sector such as state policy makers, officials and traditional leadership, and civil society representatives. Furthermore, the Round Table aimed to promote the debates around the dichotomous institutional arrangements through two panel discussions. Representatives of stakeholder categories were invited to state their views in a way that would provoke further and deeper debate. Lastly, the project leaders aimed at finding common ground about policy-making and research directions.
