Sverrir Steinsson is Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy. He holds a PhD in Political Science from George Washington University, an MA in International Affairs, and a BA in Political Science from the University of Iceland. His research focuses on digital technology's impact on institutional structures, the transformative effects of war on political systems, and small-state behavior in international relations, particularly Iceland's geopolitical strategies.
Steinsson's work examines how digital platforms reshape power dynamics among users, businesses, and states, as well as how conflict and war influence state formation and empires. He has pioneered 'Shelter Theory' to analyze small states' reliance on alliances and international frameworks for survival. His research spans topics like Nordic cooperation, transatlantic relations, and historical conflicts such as the Cod Wars.
Key publications include analyses in the American Political Science Review, International Organization, and Cooperation and Conflict. His articles explore themes like institutional evolution in digital spaces, Iceland's security dependencies, and theoretical frameworks for understanding small-state diplomacy.
Steinsson’s academic contributions emphasize interdisciplinary approaches blending institutional theory with contemporary geopolitical challenges. His current projects continue investigating digital governance, small-state resilience, and historical patterns of state formation under conflict conditions.
