IIRE Notebooks for Study and Research
Thousands, even millions of social activists, in trade unions,
NGOs, ecological movements, students’ and women’s organ-
isations, are wrestling with questions about a changing,
globalising world. What ended and what began in history
when the Berlin Wall fell? What realistic models can we put
forward now in opposition to the reigning neo-liberalism?
How can we resist neo-liberalism’s lurking counterparts:
nationalism, racism, fundamentalism, communalism?
The International Institute for Research and Education
shares these grassroots activists’ values: their conviction that
societies can and must be changed, democratically, from
below, by those who suffer from injustice, on the basis of wide-
ranging international solidarity. We exist to help progressives
pose the questions and find the answers that they need.
Since 1982 we have welcomed hundreds of participants
from over 40 countries to our courses and seminars. Our
Ernest Mandel Study Centre, opened in 1995, hosts lectures
and conferences on economic and social issues of the post-
Cold War world. We have built a network of Fellows who help
with these tasks. Our Amsterdam headquarters and library are
a resource for researchers and for gatherings of socially
minded non-profit groups.
Since 1986 the results of our work – on economic globali-
sation, twentieth-century history, ecology, feminism,
ethnicity, racism, radical movement strategy and other topics
– have been made available to a larger public through our
monograph series, the Notebooks for Study and Research.
The Notebooks are now published in English as books by
Pluto Press. Past Notebooks have also been published in other
languages, including Arabic, Dutch, French, German,
Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and
Turkish. Back issues of the 20 pre-Pluto Press Notebooks are
still available directly from the IIRE.
For information about our publications and other activities,

Netherlands; email: iire@antenna.nl. Donations to support our
work are tax-deductible in several European countries as well as
the US.
