Hall Gardner

On November 7, 2011, Hall Gardner was invited to speak at the research seminar ‘The G-20 after the Cannes Summit’ sponsored by the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) and the G8 Research Group at the University of Toronto (G8RG). The seminar took place at the Centres de Conférences Ministériels, Ministère des Affaires Etrangères et Européennes. Out of this conference, he published  Toward a Geo-Economic Resolution of the Euro Crisis, G8 Research Group at the University of Toronto (G8RG) and Toward a Resolution of the Cyprus dispute and the Euro Crisis: A Geo-economic perspective / Cicero Foundation Great Debate Paper, No. 12/01  January 2012. He also recently published "Toward a New Euro-Atlantic Security Framework" (European Union Institute for Security Studies), which has also been featured on the New Policy Forum website of Mikhail Gorbachev.  Later, in November, Professor Gardner moderated, and participated in, a panel discussion on the subject "The New Middle East - An Emerging Reality Panel: Strategic fallout and Peace Perspective: Chances, Risks, Obstacles" at the International Conference: Policymakers' Responsibility in a Changing World. The Mediterranean: Waves of Change, jointly organized by the Region of Languedoc-Roussillon (France) and the New Policy Forum (Mikhail Gorbachev). Based on the preparation for this conference, he published A Dangerous Transition in the 'Greater Middle East'.  This article was also re-published on many websites, including, Open Democracy.  Another publication, The Ashgate Companion to War: Origins and Prevention, edited by Hall Gardner and Oleg Kobtzeff and featuring articles by a number of AUP professors, including Hall Gardner, Oleg Kobtzeff, Susan Perry, and Steve Ekovich, is coming out in early February. In the meantime, Gardner participated in the France24 debate on US policy toward Iran with Trita Parsi, Francis Perrin, and Borzou Daragahi (part one and part two).  Professor Gardner was a member of the group of experts that produced the discussion paper "Bridging the Fault Lines: Collective Security in Southwest Asia" (January 20, 2012) produced by the East West Institute.  He also commented on the US primary process for France24 before the New Hampshire primary.

Professor Gardner is a geostrategist with a comparative historical orientation. His focus is on the origins of war, yet more specifically on deliberating the phenomenon of war’s eruption and its regional and global ramifications, with an eye toward conflict resolution. His research blends a historical and theoretical approach with contemporary international affairs, concentrating on questions involving NATO and European Union enlargement, the collapse of the Soviet Union and its impact upon China and Eurasia in general, as well as the global ramifications of the “war on terrorism.”

He is a member of the Committee on Atlantic Studies and of The World Political Forum. He is also on the Board of Advisors of the Cicero Foundation, the Global Water Fund, and Just World International. He has published widely in the field of international politics, in journals such as the Harvard International Review (Winter 2003) and European Affairs (Summer, 2002). He has published a number of articles in French in the new journal Géostratégiques, as member of the Conseil Scientifique, and contributes review essays to the journal, The European Legacy.

He is frequently invited to speak at international conferences, including “Is Dialogue between Civilizations Possible,” a conference held at The American University in Moscow in November 2005, the NATO 50th Anniversary Academic Conference held in Brussels and Bonn in 1999, and the World Political Forum conference of October 2003. He is the author or editor of seven books, including Surviving the Millennium: American Global Strategy, the Collapse of the Soviet Empire and the Question of Peace (Praeger, 1994); Dangerous Crossroads: Europe, Russia, and the Future of NATO (Praeger 1997); and American Global Strategy and the "War on Terrorism" (Ashgate, 2005). Professor Gardner is additionally an internationally published poet.
