Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to give the reader an overview of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory (CT). This is essential in order to determine whether the association of Coxian Critical Theory (CCT) with the work of the Frankfurt School theorists is an ‘honest mistake’ or entirely unwarranted. A detailed discussion of the work of four scholars who (together with Cox) are usually cited as representative of Critical Theory in International Relations (IR) follows in Chapter 5.
