Coercion is the use of threats to influence another's behavior. Although there is a substantial and growing literature on coercion, there is little consensus within that literature as to what qualifies as a successful example of coercion. Bratton explains why there is so little agreements as to when coercion is successful. Furthermore, coercion needs to be placed within the larger field of foreign policies of the relevant actors in order to see how it meets the needs, concerns, and options of policymakers.
