摘要

本文分析了“微观支配”现象，在这种现象中，一系列被支配的选择对个人的自由来说是无关紧要的，但对集体来说是重要的。当有关的选择在客观上是无关紧要的，微观统治就会对统治的“客观门槛”解释产生问题，这种解释要么优先考虑特别糟糕的统治形式，要么排除那些不会对受害者造成严重伤害的权力。当有关的选择在主观上对受害者无关紧要时，微观统治就会给共同的共和战略带来问题，即为统治的受害者创造争论的场所，这种策略依赖于受害者对统治关系的强烈反对来发出警报。这种监督可能会系统性地使微观统治的受害者失败。在整篇文章中，我提出了一些更好地解释和应对微观支配案例的方法。

Micro-domination

This article analyses the phenomenon of ‘micro-domination’, in which a series of dominated choices are individually inconsequential for a person’s freedom but collectively consequential. Where the choices concerned are objectively inconsequential, micro-domination poses a problem for ‘objective threshold’ accounts of domination which either prioritise particularly bad forms of domination or exclude powers that do not risk causing serious harm to their victims. Where the choices concerned are subjectively inconsequential to the victim, micro-domination poses a problem for the common republican strategy of creating arenas of contestation for victims of domination, which rely on victims objecting strongly enough to a dominating relationship to sound the alarm. This kind of invigilation may systematically fail victims of micro-domination. Throughout the article, I suggest some ways of better accounting for and responding to cases of micro-domination.

期刊介绍： The European Journal of Political Theory provides a high profile research forum. Broad in scope and international in readership, the Journal is named after its geographical location, but is committed to advancing original debates in political theory in the widest possible sense--geographical, historical, and ideological. The Journal publishes contributions in analytic political philosophy, political theory, comparative political thought, and the history of ideas of any tradition. Work that challenges orthodoxies and disrupts entrenched debates is particularly encouraged. All research articles are subject to triple-blind peer-review by internationally renowned scholars in order to ensure the highest standards of quality and impartiality.
