Desde su fundación, el IIRE combina la organización de seminarios y de cursos de formación con la publicación de libros y cuadernos de estudio, para poner a disposición del público los resultados de las investigaciones. Este es el sentido de la serie de "Notebooks for Study and Research" (Cuadernos de Estudio e Investigación, que llegan hoy a su número 50). Esta serie comenzó en 1986 con una contribución excepcional : "El lugar del marxismo en la historia", de Ernest Mandel. Este libro, número 1 de la serie de Cuadernos de Estudio e Investigación, fue fruto de una serie de seminarios que Mandel ofreció en el IIRE.
From 17th of July until the 7th of August 2011, the IIRE Manila, the sister organization of the IIRE based in the Philippines, held its third Asian Global Justice School. Like the yearly Global Justice Schools in Amsterdam, this school aims to provide a space for debate, exchange of information, knowledge and experiences and networking between international social justice activists - but with a specific focus on the Asia-Pacific region and Asia in general.
Twelve participants from six different countries (Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia) made the school a success. Similar to the previous Asian Global Justice Schools, the session was divided in three parts: the Asian context, challenges for progressive movements and forms of organizing to change society, but this year more focus was given on the issue of oppression of sexual minorities. Of course, the continuing economic crisis as well as the impact of the Arab Spring colored many discussions.
