Galligan Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts In this issue of The Journal ofArts Management, Law, & Society, we explore three main themes- arts management and its evolution, stolen art and its restitution, and the policies surrounding cul- tural legitimacy-and, along the way, examine the role of the U.S. government in funding art and culture, and then, with respect to cultural legitimacy, look at examples of the challenges of creat- ing an authentic national cultural voice in the case of two postcommunist countries, Yugoslavia and Latvia. These topics are explored through a variety of legal, historical, and sociological lenses and speak to the interdisciplinary nature of this journal. We also have broadened our scope in this issue to include a review of a documentary film as well as reviews of important publications in the field. In addition, JAMLS is pleased to announce a call for papers from graduate students for our second graduate issue dedicated to Judith Huggins Balfe, one of the most supportive graduate student mentors and a founder of this publication. In the first article, entitled Self-Governed Interest Associations: Forgotten Past or Future for Serbian Culture, Smiljka Isakovi6, a harpsichordist, pianist, and professor at Megatrend University in Belgrade on the Faculty of Culture and Media, describes how Yugoslav culture from 1970-1990 was signed by the tight net of Self-Governed Interest Associations. Understood as one of Yugoslavia's transient eras, when the political control over cultural life was given to the boards of professionals and experts, SIZ time, as it was termed, provided an ideal base for future development of arts management. This article explores possibilities of applying the positive experience of the SIZ model, modified by contemporary NGOs, as the possible solution for arts management problems in Serbia and the region at that time. The second article, Public Culture in America: A Review of Cultural Policy Debates, by Dustin Kidd of the Department of Sociology at Temple University, examines debates about public culture from the late 1980s to the present and identifies thirteen arguments that have been used to justify an investment in public culture: public interest, national security, merit, moral worth, the good life, economic development, politics, education, democracy, American identity, shared Address correspondence to Ann M.
