    ERITREA Mahmoud Ahmed Chehem (M), Aged 21, Army Soldier Estifanos Solomon (M), Army Driver Two Male Army Officers (Names Not Known)

    PUBLIC AI Index: AFR 64/001/2005 07 January 2005 UA 03/05 Forcible return / Fear of torture or ill-treatment / Detention without charge or trial ERITREA Mahmoud Ahmed Chehem (m), aged 21, army soldier Estifanos Solomon (m), army driver Two male army officers (names not known) Mahmoud Ahmed Chehem, Estifanos Solomon and two army officers were reportedly forcibly returned from Djibouti to Eritrea on 28 December 2004. They are being detained without charge at an unknown location and are at risk of torture or ill-treatment. Mahmoud Ahmed Chehem is a member of the Afar ethnic group which inhabits areas in both Djibouti and Eritrea. He was born in Djibouti, although his family live in Eritrea. On 26 December he and the three other men drove from the southwest Eritrean town of Assab to Obock town in Djibouti, where they were detained by the Djiboutian army. Mahmoud Ahmed Chehem was refused permission to stay in Djibouti, despite being a Djiboutian citizen. The three other men reportedly requested asylum in Djibouti but were summarily handed over to Eritrean military officers on 28 December, who forcibly returned them to Eritrea the same day. The three were denied the right to have their asylum application properly determined or to contact the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) office in Djibouti. Mahmoud Ahmed Chehem was unlawfully conscripted into the Eritrean army as a child soldier in 1997 when he was 14 years old. He had unsuccessfully applied recently to be demobilized on medical grounds after receiving eye injuries and shrapnel wounds during the 1998-2000 war with Ethiopia.

There is an extensivetheoretical and conceptualliterature on transactioncosts, but a relativelack of empiricalwork. This thesisapplies transaction cost economics to the UK aerospaceindustry focusing on the paradigmproblem of the make-or-buydecision and related contract design. It assesses whetherthe transactioncost approachis supported(or rejected)by evidencefrom an originalsurvey of theUK aerospaceindustry. The centralhypothesis is that UK aerospacefirms are likely to makecomponents in- housedue to higherlevels of assetspecificity, uncertainty, complexity, frequency and smallnumbers, which is reflectedin contractdesign. The thesismakes these concepts operational.The empiricalmethodology of the thesisis basedon questionnairesurvey dataand econometric tests using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) andlogit regressions to analysethe make-or-buy decision and the choiceof contracttype. The resultsfrom this thesisfind limited evidencein supportof the transactioncost approachapplied to the UK aerospaceindustry, in spiteof a bespokedataset.
