One long sentence

Native speakers of English, please...

does this sentence look alright to you?

This coercion manifests itself in the form of certain sanctions or even through the resistance with which the violation of a certain norm by a certain individual is met.

... or is the phrasing too confusing?

Hopefully this will be useful to others as well.

Thanks!

It sounds like the kind of overwritten prose that academics are known for. It's understandable as written but it should be restructured for clarity.
