This issue of International Journal of Sociology is the second special issue (after 49/2) that centers on scholarship that draws on the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) Role of Government (ROG) module. The ROG module was the first ISSP survey and has been fielded five times: 1985, 1990, 1996, 2006, and 2016. As guest editors, we want to thank the editor-in-chief, Markus Hadler, for being at the helm throughout all stages of this venture. As representatives of Sweden, we acted as conveners of the drafting group of the 2016 ISSP ROG module, which included six other countries: Britain, France, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, and Spain. Our editorship of these special issues represents the finale of this project. Therefore, we want to take the opportunity to acknowledge, and express our appreciation to, our skillful colleagues on the drafting group: Akihiko Otaki (Japan), Algis Krupavi cius (Lithuania), Alison Park (Britain), C esar Morones (Mexico), Egle Butkeviciene (Lithuania), Eleanor Attar Taylor (Britain), Fr ed eric Gonthier (France), Hiroko Murata (Japan), Ian Simpson (Britain), Isabelle Guinaudeau (France), M onica M endez-Lago (Spain), and
