Abstract
AbstractThe authors analyze the main approaches of philosophers, sociologists, and law theorists to the definition of the concepts of coercion and state coercion attempting to develop an integrative definition of the concept of state coercion. This concept can be used for finding common grounds between different concepts related to law and state in the vein of interdisciplinary theoretical research. If coercion as a social phenomenon takes the form of state coercion, the concept of state coercion logically connects such phenomena as law and state. Based on the analysis of the concepts of state coercion, the authors identified the structural elements of this notion, which are common to the majority of the considered concepts and therefore can be recognized as universal features of state coercion at this stage of legal science development. The authors concluded that the characteristics of coercion and power indicate the fact that coercion is directly related or is a part of the concept of power (taking into consideration that coercion has an independent attribute not related to power as a whole). At the same time, it means that the content of the concept of coercion, including state coercion, is narrower in comparison with the concept of power.KeywordsCoercionPowerStateLegal systemRule of lawLegal subjectJEL codeK000
