Alexander Somek

Charles E. Floete Chair in Law

Before joining the Iowa Faculty in 2003, Alexander Somek held the position of Associate Professor on the Faculty of Law of the University of Vienna.

Somek visits a number of law schools abroad. During the academic year 2007-2008 he was a fellow in the Institute of Advanced Study, Berlin.

Somek is the author of a number of books and numerous articles. His major areas of research are European Union Law, Comparative Constitutional Law, Public International Law and Jurisprudence.

Over the last few years, Somek’s work has concentrated on the transformation of elementary constitutional ideas in the context of transnational governance structures. The constituent power has been the subject of his book Individualism. His book Engineering Equality addresses the problem of solidarity. He is currently exploring how the authority of the constitution needs to be understood in a cosmopolitan world.
