D. Gusti: Foreword to the Five XIV-th International Congres of Sociology Travaux Volumes Published in 1939 and 1940
250 participants from 21 countries were expected to come to Bucharest for the XIVth International Congress of Sociology to be held between August 29 and September 14, 1939. By the August 10 deadline, the Organizing Committee had already received 82 communications dealing with the themes of Town and Village, Sociological Research and Teaching Sociology. Although, due to WWII, the Congress was postponed (first for the Spring of 1940 and later on sine die), the Romanian organizing committee undertook the publication of all papers received in several series, as follows: A. Social Units; B. Villages;
C. Towns; D. Villages and Towns; Sociological Methods; F. Institutes for Social Research; G. Teaching Sociology; H. Varia.
