The nexuses between exit, voice and loyalty in the light of the indefinite Eritrean national service

After providing a succinct background to the Eritrean National Service, the chapter discusses briefly its deterioration into forced labour and the degree of militarisation permeating the social and political landscape of the country. It presents briefly the competing theories on migration, namely: push-pull; new economics of labour migration; network theory; and the exit, voice and loyalty framework. More importantly, it reconceptualises the three building blocks of the Hirschmanian framework in terms of nexuses rather than dichotomies.
