Seven stages of turbulent social history of the Romanian sociology
The authors propose a daring journey into the previously shaded past of Romanian sociology after 1944, based on an ambitious program supported by the Institute for Quality of Life Research and the Romanian Association of Sociologists, set off in 2006, called Romanian Sociological Publishing after 1944. In this paper, we identify six historical stages in the Romanian sociology’s development and also focus on its survival during communism and its evolution after communism. Each stage is presented in its historical context, and a prediction for the future of Romanian sociology is made at the end.
