摘要

一般来说,强制权力水平低的个体比那些更有权力的个体更有可能成为受害者。然而,在某些情况下,优越的强制性权力增加了个人的脆弱性。在本文中,我展示了强制权力如何通过其对目标和策略的影响来增加脆弱性(抵消其保护作用)。拥有更强强制力的人成为目标的风险会增加,因为他们往往不那么警惕,更有可能做出激怒他人的行为。他们产生更多的不满,有更多的敌人,因为他们不那么顺从,言语上更具攻击性和对抗性。强大的政党也面临更大的风险,成为寻求获得地位的对手的目标。攻击强大的对手比攻击弱小的对手更有可能提升地位,因为这是一个更大的成就。拥有强制权力的个人也会因为他们较弱的对手所使用的策略而面临更大的风险。实力较弱的一方更有可能采取先发制人的攻击和使用武器。他们能够更好地吸引和依赖盟友,因为社会责任的规范,即倾向于保护那些需要帮助的人。最后,他们更有可能试图杀死更强大的对手,以使他们丧失能力,从而避免报复。

When strength is a weakness

When strength is a weakness

In general, individuals with low levels of coercive power are at greater risk of victimization than those who are more powerful. However, in some circumstances, superior coercive power increases an individual's vulnerability. In this paper, I show how coercive power can increase vulnerability (offsetting its protective effect) by its effects on targeting and tactics. Individuals with greater coercive power can increase their risk of getting targeted because they tend to be less vigilant and more likely to behave in ways that provoke others. They generate more grievances and have more enemies because they are less compliant and more verbally aggressive and confrontational. Powerful parties are also at greater risk of being targeted by adversaries seeking to gain status. An attack on a strong adversary is more likely to enhance status than an attack on a weaker adversary since it is a greater achievement. Individuals with coercive power are also at greater risk because of the tactics used by their weaker adversaries. Weaker parties are more likely to engage in pre-emptive attack and use weapons. They are better able to attract and rely on allies because of the norm of social responsibility, that is, the tendency to protect those in need. Finally, they are more likely to attempt to kill more power adversaries in order to incapacitate them and, thereby, avoid retaliation.
