Summary/Abstract: What is Romania’s project for society and which is the direction we should be heading to? Who are the actors of modernization: the technocrats or the politicians? These are questions for which social actors, such as the Sociological School of Bucharest, have provided answers during the interwar period. The project for society that Dimitrie Gusti imagined assigned an essential role to the scientists (and sociologists) for modernizing the rural society. The modernization was going to be achieved through the total Monography of the Romanian society. This article is answering the question regarding the nature of the relationship between politics and sociology according to Gusti’s conceptual system.
