Through the IAS's granting program we are able to support radical scholarship on antiauthoritarian subjects and further the fight for a free world. The Institute for Anarchist Studies is pleased to announce the recipients of its summer 2003 IAS grant. Global Finance Capital and the Permanent War: The Dollar, Wall Street and the War Against Irak Kolya Abramsky - $1,000.00 This translation project will make available Ramon Fernandez Duran's Spanish work of the same title in English. In Global Finance Capitol and the Permanent War, Duran shows how the Dollar, and financial institutions such as Wall Street and the IMF, force global capitalism into a permanent state of war in order to maintain its hegemonic control of the international marketplace. This study shows the emerging tensions between capitalist powers while contributing to international anticapitalist resistance through the advancement of communally and democratically controlled economies of solidarity. 19 and 20: Notes for the New Social Protagonism Nate Holdren - $1,000.00 This translation project will make available the Argentinian group Colectivo Situaciones' Spanish book on the eruptions in Argentina on the 19th and 20th of December 2001. The insights offered by this group on these important days that shook the world is particularly important as the CS are a collective of militant intellectuals who participated in these events and continue to be active in Argentinian anticapitalist movements. CS' autonomist marxist politics attempts to to do away with hierarchical and vanguardist baggage, suffered by other within the autonomist tradition, brings it very close to contemporary anarchism. The theoretical insights of CS provides rich material that anarchists can employ in understanding and challenging the capitalist world. Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina Marina Sitrin - $2,000.00 Through interviews, this book length project brings together various activists involved in the Argentinian autonomous social movements. The movements are some of the most innovative and visionary with regards to the politics of creation, inventing a new political conversation with regards to power and hierarchy, as well as democracy. The neighborhood assemblies, movements of unemployed workers, and occupied factories movements are all organizing in ways that are consciously directly democratic and autonomous, naming this politics, horizontalidad. This collection of interviews both helps to represent these movements while also adding to the global conversation on means of resistance. About the IAS The Institute for Anarchist Studies , a nonprofit foundation established in 1996 to support the development of anarchism, is primarily a grant-giving organization for radical writers. To date, we have funded over forty projects by authors from countries around the world, including Argentina, Canada, Chile, Ireland, Nigeria, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. We also publish a biannual newsletter, Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, to cultivate community among those interested in the development of anarchism and keep supporters apprised of our accomplishments. The IAS is part of a larger movement to radically transform society as well. We are internally democratic and work in solidarity with people around the globe who share our values. Support Radical Scholarship For the summer 2003 granting session, we are please to have received a sizable increase in the number of applications submitted. As always, the financial limitations of our granting program doesn't allow us to meet the full needs of struggling antiauthoritarian authors. The IAS and its programs is fully dependant upon the support of the international anarchist community. Please consider making a donation to help us further this important work.
