He taught at the University of Akureyri, where he contributed to setting up the Law School, and founded the Polar Law Programme in 2008 with Professor Gum̧undur Alfreşson.

She has studied the processes of constitutional change and reform in Hungary (post-communism and since 2010) and in the UK since 1998.

| 520 | |a "This collection documents, analyses and reflects on the Icelandic constitutional reform process in the wake of the financial and political crisis until its closing stage in 2017. This long and complex process has deeply transformed the ways in which constitutional amendment can be approached in practice, raising theoretical issues which go far beyond the borders of Iceland, as demonstrated by the international interest that this has triggered. The book is organized in three parts. Part I positions the constitutional reform process in its full complexity and longer-term perspective, going beyond its frequent portrayal in international discussion as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. Part II focusses on the most innovative and discussed dimension of the reform, namely its processes involving a range of drafters, including so-called lay drafters and a twenty-first century digital take on 'the people' through what has been known internationally as an unprecedented process of 'crowdsourcing'. While this has been the most publicised aspect of the process, this part of the book puts this aspect in its fuller context and considers all formal stages of the reform. Part III focusses on the substantive dimensions of the constitutional reform, namely the proposals made during its various stages. The collection closes with a critical reflection on the reform's wider significance drawing out of the principal theoretical questions arising from the Icelandic experience. The volume provides both Icelandic and international observers and scholars a much needed basis for reflection on what has been, by all accounts, a ground-breaking constitutional reform process in a democratic context"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
