The International Institute for Research and Education in Manila is envisioned to be an Asian center that could help provide social movements and activists with opportunities for research, education and discussions. Part of the strategic plan in realizing this vision of the Asian institute is to develop and augment its library in order to aid the various schools, progressive researches and publications. Presently, the IIRE-Manila has only a few hundred copies of books, most of them donated by different individual activists and second copies of some of the English Books of the IIRE in Amsterdam. The collection of books in the IIRE Manila library includes major works of known philosophers, theoreticians and intellectuals, history and social sciences, contemporary issues, events and struggles, among others. The library has also some publications, manuscripts and historical documents of some movements, as well as publications, journals and books in foreign language, like Chinese. However, the library of the IIRE-Manila is still not enough to achieve its desired goal. We are thus calling all organizations and individuals to help us augment and enrich our collective library by donating various relevant books, magazines, electronic materials and the like. Rest assured that due citation of the donor will be made and that the materials will be put to good use. Please contact us at

Mission The IIRE-Manila’s establishment was inspired by the successes of its sister institute, the IIRE-Amsterdam. As such, it is founded as an Asia-Pacific institute where activists, progressive forces and scholars in Asia and the Pacific, from different traditions, could come together more accessibly and spend time discussing, debating and assessing different experiences, frameworks and paradigms of different movements towards the emancipation of all oppressed peoples of the world. Its core activity is the conducting, organizing and hosting of different research, educational discussions and seminars on various issues, situations and phenomena, and actual learning through exposure to and engagement with grassroots communities and peoples struggling for their basic human rights. |

Vision The IIRE-Manila’s vision is to become an Asia-Pacific Center for research and education and a meeting place for third world and international activists, progressive forces and scholars, in order to discuss and exchange experiences in the spirit of the new internationalism and unite towards the common struggle for building a world free from all forms of exploitation. |

 These successes of the IIRE-Amsterdam and the challenges faced by third world activists, particularly the Asian sections, greatly inspired the establishment of the International Institute for Research and Education – Manila (IIRE-Manila). The present global economic crisis brought about by the barbaric capitalist system has caused indescribable sufferings to the peoples of the third world, since they are the most vulnerable and unsecured sections of the world against globalization. Thus, the struggle of these peoples for their basic right to live is also directly aimed at crippling the imperialists and capitalists in their respective countries. On the other hand, the opportunities for reflection and studies in IIRE-Amsterdam for third word activists have become increasingly difficult, financially and technically. Thus, the need to open a more accessible venue for discussions to third world activists, specifically, Asia-Pacific activists, amidst the growing difficulties and challenges, reinforced the necessity of establishing a sister institute in Manila. This bold move is also a way to strengthen the unity and solidarity of the third word activists in order to intensify the struggle for their political and social agenda and for a new internationalism in the face of the worst capitalist crisis in the century. |
