The Politics of Andor (Season 2 Episodes 4-6): Too Much Information

It’s the UConn Popcast, and we continue our analysis of Andor season 2 with episodes 4-6. We break down the politics of these episodes, focusing on the mirrored political challenges faced by figures from the Empire and the Rebellion. We see a big theme of these episodes as “too much information,” as both sides struggle to distinguish friend from foe, signal from noise, the authentic from the inauthentic. We discuss classic political problems portrayed in the episodes such as collective action problems, anticipatory compliance, preference falsification, and treating people as means or as ends in and of themselves.Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://newbooksnetwork.supportingcast.fm/science-fiction Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
