What is domination? According to a leading strand of republican political philosophy, a person is dominated when under the unconstrained power of another. Call this the dyadic conception of domination, because it involves a two-person relation. I argue that domination is better understood structurally. Structural domination is domination by institutions. Rather than a master dominating a slave and a boss dominating a worker (as in dyadic domination), structural domination holds that the institution of slavery dominates the slave and labor law dominates the worker. Without the structural conception, I contend, one misdescribes the power dynamics of paradigm cases of domination.

共和主义和结构性统治

什么是统治？根据共和主义政治哲学的主要观点，一个人在另一个人的不受约束的权力下受到支配。称其为支配的二元概念，因为它涉及两个人的关系。我认为从结构上更好地理解支配。结构性支配就是制度支配。与主人统治奴隶和老板统治工人不同（如二元统治），结构统治认为奴隶制度统治奴隶，劳动法统治工人。我认为，如果没有结构性概念，人们就会错误地描述统治范式案例的权力动态。
