Rural Sociology Journal - Founding and the First Twelve Years (1963 - 1975)
Vlado Puljiz
Abstract
This paper is about the founding and the first 12 years of publication of the journal
Rural Sociology.
In the introduction, the author examines the social context in the 1960s when the
journal was founded. In the second part he points to some crucial rural-sociological
research from the 1960s and the 1970s carried out by research associates of the
Department (Centre) of rural sociology. The results of the research showed that
rural population opposed the socialist project of collective farming and common
ownership. It was therefore necessary to change that model gradually and direct it
towards competent and productive individual agricultural households as leaders of
modern agriculture and village.
The author also refers to the changes in the Editorial Board, institutional framework
of the journal, its content and remarkable foreign contributors whose work it
published. Key topics and articles which marked the first twelve years of Rural
Sociology are singled out.
In the conclusion, the author agrees with the common view that Rural Sociology in
those years greatly contributed to a better understanding of social processes in the
village and the foundation and development of rural sociology in these parts.
