Marrett, formerly Assistant Director of the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) and head of NSF's Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences. These discussions linked the journal's interest in democratization with the Foundation's ongoing encouragement of fundamental scientific research on the same subject. While I was serving under Dr Marrett as NSF Program Director for Law and Social Science, she encouraged me to volunteer to serve as adviser to the Editor in the preparation of a democracy and law issue of the ISSJ. I thank Cora Marrett for her encouragement and David Makinson for his guidance.
