In a response to my critics I further elaborate some of the concepts central to A Cultural Theory of International Relations. I explain why it is a cultural theory, as distinct from a theory of culture; the different levels of reason conceptualised by the Greeks and their utility in moving our thinking beyond the exclusive focus on instrumental rationality of modern social science; and Aristotle's concept of anger and its implications for the behaviour of the weak and the powerful. I justify my case selection and its Western bias, but defend the universality of my theory and its non-hegemonic application to the study of other cultures.

Reviews the role of Canada, along with several of the smaller allied countries, in working in the 1960s to make the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) a source of multilateral East-West detente. Ottawa shared the vision that NATO could transition from an organization of military defense into an organization working for peace. While serving as Canadian prime minister, Lester B. Pearson, who assisted in the formation of NATO, worked for peaceful accommodation between the USSR & Western countries. While the US was embroiled in Vietnam, Europe was involved in economic growth, & France was practicing obstructionism, Canada, with Belgium, Italy, & Norway, worked within NATO to create a forum for East-West deliberations. The adoption of the Harmel report in 1967 was a step toward that pursuit. L. A. Hoffman
