analytic coercion  

Definition

  • The concept of coercion plays an important role in many political, moral, and legal theories. Since Robert Nozick's 1969 paper “Coercion,” the concept has become an important object of study in its own right, whereas before then, coercion was mainly analyzed as part of broader philosophical theories.
