HALL GARDNER
Professor Gardner examines inter-state and inter-societal conflict with a comparative historical orientation. His focus is on the diplomatic 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.” Gardner is additionally an internationally published poet.
World War Trump had predicted the possibility of a Trump-incited coup in the Postscript. The domestic and international policy recommendations of the book are still relevant after Trump's defeat by Joe Biden in a fair election.

Trump and the siege of the US Capitol | Wall Street International Magazine
​
The January 6 siege of the Capitol—the very symbol of American Democracy—was like a scene out of the novel, It Can’t Happen Here, written by Sinclair Lewis in 1935. In the book, the bumbling “Buzz” Windrip becomes US Senator after his militia of “minute men” (who consider Windrip “their general and their god”) seize Windrip’s state capitol, much like contemporary far-right wing militias threatened the Michigan capital in 2020. Windrip then wins the presidency and immediately declares martial law over the entire United States.

Hall Gardner's Latest Book:
Year of the Earth Serpent Changing Colors
At long last!
My first novel, Year of the Earth Serpent Changing Colors, is to be published in January 2023 by Ibidem-Verlag, Edition Noema, and distributed in Europe, Australia, and in the USA by Columbia University Press.
The book, as a work of fiction, represents over 30 years of reflection upon the events that took place in China and in the world before, during and after the brutal June 4, 1989 crackdown on the non-violent pro-democracy and freedom protests taking place in China.
I believe the book will prove even more relevant given the anti-Covid confinement protests taking place in China in recent weeks!
