Arend van de Poel (1948) was born in Amsterdam. In 1966 he became involved in the Vietnam-movement and became a member of the SJ (Socialist Youth). He soon developed towards a revolutionary socialist position and when the Dutch section re-entered the Fourth International, he became a member. He worked from 1973 as a financial specialist for the municipality of Amsterdam and took part in major trade union activities, some related to pay and working conditions, some more political, such as the demonstrations of civil servants against deployment of cruise missiles and against racial discrimination
Herman Pieterson (Amsterdam, 1951) is historian. He published work on the Dutch revolutionary parties RSP, OSP and RSAP. He worked as a teacher in Higher Education and as data-expert for the public authorities. Currently he is researching the contribution of Dutch economists to the theory of economic long waves.
Herman Pieterson was co-director from 1985 to 1988.

The IIRE is home to an unique collection of texts on the history of the social movement and radical social theory, with a special focus on the history and thought of the Fourth International. Our library consists of over 25,000 books and several thousand periodicals. Most of the books are in one of the IIRE's three working languages, English, French and Spanish; but there are also significant collections in German, Portuguese and Italian, with smaller collections in several other languages. The work of completing the computer cataloguing is now under way and you can consult the catalogue here. Besides the use made of the library by our lecturers and students, it is available to researchers for consultation by appointment. We welcome large- and small-scale donations to our library.
The IIRE is housed in a part of a former crafts school. We have one large meeting room and two smaller meetings rooms as well as a kitchen and dining hall. Two of our meeting rooms are equipped with simultaneous translation booths. We have 26 beds available, in seven two or four-bed rooms. Each room is equipped with wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. All rooms are wheelchair accessible. Our facilities include digital audio and recording equipment and broadband internet suitable for webcasting and wifi computers. Around the corner of Lombokstraat there are two cinemas, a theatre and a pleasant cafe with an outdoor terrace, all hosted by Studio/K.
