Force (to do something) (6)

I believe the answer is:

compel

(Other definitions for compel that I've seen before include "drive on" , "Bring about by force" , "Use force or influence to make person do something" , "'Force, oblige (6)'" , "Use force or influence to make something happen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Mirror.
