Against the Current
- Anwar Shaikh: Ernest Mandel : 1923-1995 : a passionate optimistic Marxist (nr.59, nov.-dec. 1995, s.36-39).
"... I would like to dwell on his intellectual contribution to an absolutely fundamental issue in the struggle against capitalism: the analysis of its own internal dynamics, of the forces that drive it to dizzying new heights only to bring it back down to new lows ..."

Critique
- Hillel Ticktin: Obituary: Ernest Mandel, 1923-1995 (nr.30-31, 1998, s.259-263)
"Ernest Mandel dominated the far left. He was a magnificent speaker and a prolific author. As general secretary of his organisation, the United Secretariat of the Fourth International, he played a crucial political role on the world stage, even if many outside the far left do not know it."

Historical Materialism
Symposium: Ernest Mandel and the historical theory of global capitalism (15:1, 2007, s.37-198)
"Ernest Mandel theorised the capitalist world economy as an articulated system of capitalist, semi-capitalist and precapitalist relations of production, linked to each other by capitalist relations of exchange and domination by the capitalist world market. This seems to be an interesting starting point for an historically well-founded theory, building on and going beyond Marx’s work, of the worldwide expansion of the capitalist mode of production from its origins to the present. In his attempt to formulate his theory, Mandel did not succeed in resolving all difficulties, however."

International Viewpoint
- Daniel Bensaïd: Thirty years after: A critical introduction to the Marxism of Ernest Mandel (nr.392, september 2007)
"The first edition of this Introduction to Marxism dates from 1974 ... The most dated part of the 1974 Introduction, which most badly withstands the test of time and the events of the last quarter of a century is undoubtedly that concerning Stalinism and its crisis."

Socialist Review
- John Molyneux: Obituary : Contradictory states (nr.189, sept. 1995, s.24).
" ... we in the SWP have always had profound political differences with Mandel and it would be false to the spirit of Marxism (and the spirit of Mandel - he was an inveterate polemicist) to gloss over these now. Our most important difference was over the nature of Russia and the other Stalinist states. Mandel held the view that despite their Stalinist degeneration, which he opposed, they remained workers’ states. We took the view that they were state capitalist. This is not just a difference of terminology, it had far reaching effects on political perspectives and practice."

" En ny DVD-udgivelse med to filmportrætter af Ernest Mandel, den fremtrædende marxistiske økonom og mangeårige ledende skikkelse i Fjerde Internationale, kombinerer det enkelte menneskes liv med nogle af de største revolutionære slag i det 20. århundrede. Det kniber dog med at få de sider frem, der gjorde og gør hovedpersonen så vedkommende."
