Dr. Gardner has published and conducted research on self-determination, human rights, and causes of conflict. Her doctoral dissertation, “The Internationalization of Self-Determination Claims,” demonstrated how ideas of legitimacy and sovereignty affect the international response to self-determination issues. She has published in International Peacekeeping on the role of international law in the Western Sahara self-determination conflict and co-edited a volume on human rights, The Globalization of Human Rights, with Michael W. Doyle and Jean-Marc Coicaud. Her areas of research interest include new dimensions of state sovereignty and international standards for good governance; the interaction of international law and politics; causes of conflict and conflict resolution, including intra-state conflict and “new” security threats; and the role of non-state actors, ideas, and norms in international relations.
