Abstract
Abstract Compromise theory extols values of mutuality and voluntariness which characterise its identity as a concession procedure enabling agreement (Spang, 2023; Baume & Novak, 2020; Weinstock, 2013). Accounts of compromise have remained bound by these normative ideals which infers a context of rough equality as central to the notion of compromise. However, in empirical instances, compromises occur in contexts wrought with power disparity. This paper seeks to tackle this normative discrepancy and asks whether such an assumption of rough equality alludes to an inherent dangerousness at the core of compromise. I argue that a normative neglect of power relations in compromise theory enables and masks instances of domination. This domination fuels injustices and ultimately corrupts the concession procedure of compromise. Therefore, I propose a critical compromise which seeks to render a normative conception of compromise sensitive to power imbalance.
