coercion
의미: The practice of persuading someone to do something by using force, threats, or intimidation rather than free choice.
Coercion is a critical concept in law, political philosophy, and international relations. In contract law, an agreement obtained through coercion is voidable because it lacks genuine consent. In criminal law, coercion may operate as a partial defence where the defendant was compelled to act under threat of serious harm. In political discourse, it describes the use of economic sanctions, military pressure, or institutional power to compel compliance. The adjective 'coercive' and the verb 'coerce' are equally common. It collocates with 'economic,' 'physical,' 'state,' 'control,' and 'under.'
