Emest Mander Study Contre in Amsterdam
This Centre has been created by Ernest's colleagues at the International Institute for Research and Education in Amsterdam.
Ernest helped create the institute in 1982. Since then, hundreds of militants from all parts of the world have taken part in seminars courses and conferences. All this was supported with a programme of publications in English, French and Castillian, and an unique library - 25,000 books and pamphlets, in a wide range of languages
The Centre is an example of the kind of internationalism in which Ernest Mandel believed. Directed by the needs of its students. Enriching all those who participated in its activities.
Ernest himself was a regular participant in these events. He gave dozens of presentations, and participated in hundreds of debates. Much of this material is available for consultation and study on paper or audio tape.
But Ernest also came to learn. To meet with new militants from Eastern Europe, North Africa and South America, and test his ideas against their experience.
The new Ernest Mandel Study Centre will continue Ernest's favourite activities. It will bring third world militants, socialists and feminists, to Amsterdam to discuss economics, politics, and building the revolutionary alternative. It will facilitate the translation of important texts into the languages tomorrow's revolutionaries will speak. And it will place Ernest's invaluable stock of articles, speeches and books at the disposition of these new generations of militants.
The Centre is just beginning. We need funds to start these activities A regular newsletter will be sent to all those who want to support us, so that you know how your money is being spent.
