(Cox, p 128). He explains that all theories tend to have perspectives where he mentions that perspectives are derived from a specific position in time and space, but mostly through social, political time and space. (Cox, p 128). According to Baylis and Smith (2017). Critical theory is seen as a concept that attempts to challenge the current order by striving to escape, analyzing, where possible assisting social processes that can potentially lead to emancipatory change.

(Cox, pp130-131). Both theories of Realism and Marxism are considered as one of the most preliminary attempted approaches towards critical theory and the development of the critical strategy which should have been applied to this theory. (Cox,p131). Cox starts to contrast the view of problem-solving theory which holds the parameters that are seen in the present order and helps the legitimate as an unjust and deeply iniquitous system that has been associated with the assumption or the view from the perspective of critical theory. (Cox,p136). Some of those historians whether they are both Marxist or non-marxist quite independently of thinking about either international relations or even the state have contributed in a practical way towards filling the missing gap. (Cox,p127). The strength of the problem-solving approach lies in its ability to fix certain limits or the parameters to a definite problem area and to reduce the statement of that particular problem limit to a number of variables that are relatively amenable, close and a precise examination.(Cox,p129). For example, this idea is seen through the assumption of ceteris paribus theory, upon which theorizing is normally based on makes it possible for them to arrive at statements of law or regularities which appear to have general validity but imply, of course, the institutional and relational parameters assumed in this problem-solving approach.(Cox ,p139). The problem-solving theory is non-historical or a historical since its effects posit a continuing present between the institutions and power relations which joins the last and basic measures.(Cox,p129).as suggested by Baylis and Smith (2017).Both gramsicianism and critical theory have their own roots in Western Europe in the 1920s and 1930s in place and time where Marxism was forced to come to terms not
