What is Critical Theory in International Relations?
Study of critical theory in the science of international relations is essentially not a new idea.

Kant and Hegel took out papers that contain a critical review of reflection about social and community and country development at the time.
European Community in the century of enlightenment is the result of the upheaval against the boundaries of the church towards the development of science (nature) when it is considered to violate the doctrine of the church. In addition, European societies are in a social and political chaos since the distribution of power that are not symmetrical. So Kant thinks these power problems will be solved if there are legal (international) that regulate (Devetak, 2004: 146).
