Hall Gardner is an international relations theorist, editorialist, TV commentator, poet and novelist. His many books on global politics, including Toward an Alternative Transatlantic Strategy (2021) in French and English; IR Theory, Historical Analogy and Major Power War (2019); Crimea, Global Rivalry and the Vengeance of History (2015); NATO Expansion and the U.S. Strategy in Asia (2013); and American Global Strategy and the 鈥淲ar on Terrorism鈥� (2005), blend 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 鈥渨ar on terrorism.鈥�

His book World War Trump (2018) forewarned of Trump鈥檚 January 6, 2021 coup attempt. His book, The Failure to Prevent World War I, explored the causes of the so-called 鈥淲ar to End all Wars鈥� form the French perspective. His first books, Surviving the Millennium (1994) and Dangerous Crossroads (1997) both forewarned of a dangerous Russian backlash, war with Ukraine, and the possibility of major power war if the U.S., NATO, and the European Union could not implement a new system of European Security that incorporated Russian security concerns. His later books Averting Global War (2007) outlined a strategy to prevent major power war, as have World War Trump and Toward an Alternative Transatlantic Strategy.

His editorials have appeared in the L.A. Times, The Hill, Other News, Open Democracy, among many others. He has been interviewed by Japanese Public Television (NHK): Global Debate Wisdom; Associated Press (AP), FRANCE 24, Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera, Reuters, Radio France International (RFI), Bloomberg News, RFO 鈥淭outes les France,鈥� Voice of Russia, Russia Today, VOA-China, VOA-Iran, C-NBC TV News, BBC World News (radio), MacClean鈥檚 (Canada), Izvestia, O Globo (Brazil), Agence France Press, and EuroNews, among others.听

Gardner鈥檚 poems have been published in numerous anthologies, such as The Peace or Perish Crisis Anthology, Fire Readings, and the Paris Atlantic. His poem Vincent鈥檚 Room, and its translation into French, was chosen for National Translation Month (September 2021). His book of poems, The Wake-Up Blast (2008), represents 30 years of poetic protest. His first novel, Year of the Earth Serpent Changing Colors 鈥� that explores the social and geopolitical transformations taking place in China and the world at the time of the Chinese democracy and freedom movement in the Spring 1989 鈥� is to be published in late January 2023.
