Role of human rights movements during the democratic process in Togo

Abstract

10 years ago, we began to speak the democratic transition in Africa. But after certain years, the African countries fell again in the authoritative regime. We analyze the democratic transition in Togo on the movement of human rights that directed the civil society. Discussions of the civil society in the African political studies missed the empiric discussion of the political stage. We think the relation between the civil society and democratization in the concrete analysis. We focalized the change of engagements of the human rights organization in the setting of democratization. At the end, we will thik the role and the problematic of the civil society in the democratic process in Africa.
