Yale political science professor Ian Shapiro and teaching assistant Christina Seyfried field student questions in this office hours session tied to the course Power and Politics in Today's World. The discussion works through the politics of insecurity, unpacking what drives it and what policy responses might address it, following up on themes raised in the course's regular lectures. Shapiro and Seyfried respond directly to student questions rather than presenting a scripted talk, moving between conceptual clarification and application to current political examples. The format is informal but substantive, giving a sense of how the course's core arguments about power, insecurity, and political response hold up under student pushback. It offers a useful supplement for anyone following the full lecture series rather than a standalone introduction to the topic.
