coercee

While this is certainly a plausible approach for distinguishing coerced from uncoerced acts, it puts the focus on how the coercee perceives her situation; it is only via this reflection that it takes into account how the coercer is able to create this perception.

Because McGregor's, Berman's and Lamond's ways of capturing coercion attend to the coercer's actions and intentions, they avoid the need to distinguish coercive from other proposals based on specific effects on the coercee.

Threats and offers are both proposals put to the coercee, aiming to influence her behavior, and distinguished with respect to how they affect what is normal for the coercee.

A different way of understanding coercion moves away from focusing on its impact on the coercee.

A second suggestion holds that there's something special about the coercer's intention vis-à-vis the coercee that makes coercion frequently problematic.

Grant Lamond focuses instead on the coercer's intentional attempt to use pressure to alter the activities of the coercee, where that pressure comes from an intention to deliberately set back the interests of the coercee.

His account is tailored to cases where the coercer seeks to obtain a token of “consent” to some harmful or dangerous activity from the coercee, but it could easily be generalized to cover other sorts of coerced activities.

There can in Nagel's view be values that, while true or valid, are inadmissible from the point of view of the coercee.

This raises a question about whether the use of coercion requires or implies that the coercer is in a position of dominance over the coercee.

There is a general and acknowledged difficulty in explaining how coercion by threat is possible: if the coercee defies the demand backed by the threat, it is typically irrational, because futile, for the coercer to go ahead and execute his threat.
