RE: "Critical theory is rather an approach to international relations, and it can encompass various traditions within IR. However, critical theory is not problem solving and it is strongly linked to postpositivism and postmodernism." That is not entirely true, as you have to distinguish between "Critical theory" and "critical theory". The latter is a more or less general approach incorporation the Frankfurt school, but also neo-Gramscianism, post-structuralism, feminism and post colonialism. On the contrary, Critical theory refers to the body of theory emerging from the attempt to link Frankfurt school with IR domain. Horkheimer and Jurgen Habermas played a crucial role and were incorporated into IR by Richard Ashley and Andrew Linklater. Ignostic199 (talk) 14:57, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * "Critical theory" then has pretty precise boundaries and criticises "problem-solving" traditional theory for inability to bring about emancipation and for tacitly accepting the values of the system. Ignostic199 (talk) 14:58, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
