Non-domination provides resilience against arbitrary interference that non-interference lacks.
Evidence
Where the ideal of non-interference involves this inbuilt contingency, the ideal of non-domination avoids it. For if you are not dominated by anyone else, if you are not subject to a capacity for arbitrary interference by anyone else, then it follows that the non-interference you enjoy in the actual world, you enjoy with a certain resilience or security. — Philip Pettit, Republicanism, 134
