| Abstract | AbstractThe importance of the media in democracies has long been recognized. The media has often been seen as a preliminary mechanism of democratization process. Over the past 20 years, both Taiwan and Slovenia have been undergoing profound political changes, transforming from authoritarianism to democracy. This research will be a modest attempt to portray the significant role that media has played in the two countries’ democratization processes and draw some interesting parallels between them.Keywords: media, democratization, press freedom, Slovenia, TaiwanIzvlečekPomembnost medijev v demokracijah je že dolgo priznana. Mediji so pogosto videni kot predhoden mehanizem procesa demokratizacije. V zadnjih dvajsetih letih sta tako Tajvan kot Slovenija prestali temeljite politične spremembe in prešli iz avtoritativnega režima k demokraciji. Pričujoča skromna raziskava bo poskusila prikazati bistveno vlogo, ki so jo mediji odigrali v procesih demokratizacije teh dveh dežel in začrtala nekaj zanimivih vzporednic med njima.Ključne besede: mediji, demokratizacija, svoboda tiska, Slovenija, Tajvan |
