Small-State crisis management: the lcelandic way

The editors would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to a number of people and institutions, which have made this volume on Icelandic crisis management possible. We would like to first of all thank all of the case writers for their pioneering research and for their Icelandic stubbornness and acceptance that everything in life has its own pace as the editing phase of this book took longer than any of us had anticipated. Their patience and hard work is really what has made this book as good as it is. We would also like to thank the Icelandic government officials who opened doors for our case Author's and shared their experiences and expertise. In connection to this, we would like to express our particular gratitude to Gunnar Snorri Gunnarsson, the Permanent Secretary of State, who wrote the foreword to the book, and to Solveig Thorvaldsdottir, who during her time as the director of AVRIK (the National Civil Defense organization) served as a valuable asset and source of support for us.
