520    "When Eritrea gained independence in 1991, hopes were high
       for its transformation. In two decades, however, it became
       one of the most repressive in the world, effectively a 
       militarised "garrison state". This comprehensive and 
       detailed analysis examines how the prospects for democracy
       in the new state turned to ashes, reviewing its 
       development, and in particular the loss of human rights 
       and the state's political organisation. Beginning with 
       judicial development in independent Eritrea, subsequent 
       chapters scrutinise the rule of law and the court system; 
       the hobbled process of democratisation, and the 
       curtailment of civil society; the Eritrean prison system 
       and everyday life of detention and disappearances; and the
       situation of minorities in the country, first in general 
       terms and then through exploration of a case study of the 
       Kunama ethnic group. While the situation is bleak, it is 
       not without hope, however: the conclusion focuses on 
       opposition to the current regime, and offers scenarios of 
       regime change and how the coming of a second republic may 
       yet reconfigure Eritrea politically"--|cPublisher
