14. Buzan may, with some justification, be disappointed that his engagement of structural realism and regime theory (1993) did not generate more response in the US and not be eager to repeat that experiment. However, the US theoretical debate has changed enormously since 1993, and I suspect that American IR, notably constructivists, would be more receptive to overtures from the English School now, than they were to structural realism eight years ago.
15. Again, Buzan himself (1993) has worked on this problem, but I am not aware of widespread effort among English School scholars to follow up on his work.
