title: Democracy, Law and Relationships of Domination-A Response to 'Can Republicanism Tame Public Health?'
abstract: This brief comment responds to some of the issues raised by Daniel Weinstock's paper on the application of the republican ideal to public health. It considers the application outside of that specific context of both the problem Weinstock identifies and the solution he proposes. It queries, with reference to the different sorts of relationships of domination which exist, whether a republican approach to public health might not be better to seek to begin from private relationships of domination and to define its scope with reference to such relationships.
