ABSTRACT
Paul Kowert and I arrived in Miami at the same time and immediately developed a close relationship, both at work and play. Having encouraged his interest in Japan, my wife Sandy and I spent a great deal of time with him in Kyoto and roaming about the country. In Miami and with Vendulka Kubálková’s leadership, we launched the Miami International Relations Group. This forum greatly facilitated my return to Constructivist social theory, as did many one-on-one discussions with Paul, who had only recently steeped himself in Constructivism in order to conduct a ‘theoretical reprise’ for the landmark volume that Peter Katzenstein had edited (Kowert and Legro 1996).
