Publications

Through the years, the IIRE has used different venues to develop and diffuse left-wing ideas. Aside from our courses, an important pillar of our work is our publication program. We have published over 50 issues of our Notebooks for Study and Research, currently in cooperation with left-wing publisher Merlin Press. We have also produced Working Papers: working documents that often form the basis of future publications and serve to stimulate discussion for newer drafts. A third outlet is our website on which we publish audio- and video-recordings of our courses.

Notebooks for Study and Research

The results of the IIRE's work are made available to a larger public in large part through our publication series, the Notebooks for Study and Research. Since 1986 we have published dozens of issues of the Notebooks. The Notebooks focus on themes of contemporary debate or historical or theoretical importance, sometimes based on lectures given in sessions in our Institute. Since 1998 they were published as a book series in collaboration with Pluto Press in London and since 2010 in cooperation with Merlin Press. Different issues of the Notebooks have also appeared in languages besides English, including French, German, Dutch, Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Turkish, Swedish, Danish and Russian.

Barry-Sheppard-2

 

El segundo volumen de las memorias políticas de Barry Sheppard comienza en 1973 y abarca los años de estancamiento y posterior declive del SWP hasta 1988. Durante estos años, se produjo el reflujo de la radicalización de los años sesenta. Sheppard estuvo profundamente involucrado como líder central en estos años. En 1988, cuando Sheppard y su compañera Caroline Lund dimitieron, el partido se había convertido en una secta, y se había retirado de la Cuarta Internacional.
Se trata de un libro autocrítico y valiente en el que Berry Sheppard no evita los problemas e interrogantes más difíciles . Se trata también de una contribución única a la historia del movimiento socialista en los EE.UU..

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.

New Parties of the Left. Experiences from Europe

 

Con esta última publicación “Nuevos partidos de la Izquierda – Experiencias en Europa”, el IIRE, en colaboración con Resistance Books, proporciona un necesario análisis sobre el reagrupamiento de la izquierda radical europea. Con esta visión pan-europea centrada en Francia, Dinamarca, Gran Bretaña, Alemania, Italia y Portugal, este libro ofrece un acercamiento único y sin precedentes a la historia política contemporánea de la izquierda radical en Europa. Los partidos socialdemócratas y los partidos estalinistas, incluyendo al Labour Party en Gran Bretaña y el Partido Socialista en Francia, han virado hacia la derecha a lo largo de todo el continente y tienen fuertes lazos con el neoliberalismo. Esto ha abierto un espacio político a la izquierda de la socialdemocracia que ha sido ocupado por nuevas formaciones de la izquierda radical en las últimas décadas


The IIRE publishes four new books on women's liberation, permanent revolution, fascism and the history of the Fourth International this November. Four further volumes, on anarchism, revolutionary Europe between 1918 and 1968, the European left today, and on the IIRE's own history will follow in early 2011. All eight books are part of the IIRE's 'Notebooks for Study and Research' series.

The first four books are: "Women's Liberation and the Socialist Revolution", edited by IIRE fellow Penelope Duggan; "October Readings: contributions on the development of the theory of Permanent Revolution", a collection edited by D.R. O'Connor Lysaght, including an article by IIRE founder Ernest Mandel; "Building Unity Against Fascism: Classic Marxist Texts", with essays by Leon Trotsky, Daniel Guerin, Ted Grant, Clara Zetkin and others; and "The Long March of the Trotskyists: Contributions to the history of the Fourth International" by Pierre Frank and Daniel Bensaid.

Cinzia Arruzza, Member of the IIRE Board and Assistant Professor in Philisophy at the New School for Social Research in New York, has written a short overview of the relations between the Marxist and feminist movement in practice and theory from the nineteenth century to the present day. Entitled “Le relazioni pericolose, Matrimoni e divorzi tra marxismo e femminismo” (The dangerous relationships, Marriage and divorces between Marxism and feminism), this book has already been translated into Spanish and Portuguese, German and Turkish translations are underway and an English edition is planned for publication by the IIRE.

The IIRE team has been cleaning out in its book stocks. If have a big stock of some particular book, that we offer at a highly discounted price, up to 90 per cent cheaper than regular price, in order to provide space (and money) for new books.
