In the second 2023 BBC Reith Lecture, titled “The Future of Security,” Professor Ben Ansell explores the delicate balance between anarchy and tyranny in the pursuit of security. He begins by discussing the importance of security in our lives and governments’ role in providing it. Anarchy, marked by a lack of centralized force, can lead to chaos and vigilantism, while tyranny arises when governments overstep their boundaries to maintain security. Professor Ansell emphasizes the need to strike a balance between these extremes to ensure security without sacrificing individual freedoms in liberal democracies.
