Thomas Adams (University of Oxford – Faculty of Law) has posted Coercive Law (Oxford Journal of Legal Studies) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
In this essay I consider Kenneth Einar Himma’s argument, made most forcefully and fully in Coercion and the Nature of Law (Oxford University Press, 2020), that law is necessarily coercive. While casting doubt on Himma’s framing of the issues as well as on his specific claims in support of that conclusion, I suggest some alternate avenues for arguing that law is a coercive institution.
Highly recommended. Link to Himma's important book in the abstract.
