Abstract
In this chapter, we establish a combination theorem (Theorem 5.1) for the class of flexible and liftable-flexible groups. This generalizes the arguments in Chap. 4 that most Fuchsian groups are flexible. Implications of flexibility and liftability for limit groups and quasimorphisms are discussed here.
