| Research Abstract |
As large-scale natural disaster and reformation of society happen in all parts of the world, the role that the media achieves is reconsidered in late years. Based on the anthropological reseach, we studies the political situation and analyses the situation of media in Republic of Benin and Togo, West Africa. In 1990 they have experienced the democratic transition, and the political leaders have alternated peacefully after 2000, which is rare among the African states. Particularly, Beninese are proud of their realization of democracy and detest the social disorder. Recently, people watch a radio and TV with a cell-phone and come to participate in a program, so that this study focuses on a social role of the media and the interactive programs. We studies media circumstances from the life history of people, taking broadcast programs as a public sphere and analyses how people understand democracyand participate in it in order to understand the complicated situation in democratization of West African states today.
