The Spanish-language [https://web.archive.org/web/20071029115555/http://puntodevistainternacional.org/ ''Punto de vista internacional''] site is under the responsibility of the Spanish-speaking sections of the ''International''.

The magazine was established in 1982 to replace ''Intercontinental Press'', which for a brief period had been the common English-language publication of the Fourth International having merged with the English-language ''Inprecor'' of the 1970s. In 1995, ''International Viewpoint'' absorbed ''International Marxist Review'', the Fourth International's theoretical magazine in English.

The magazine has a network of correspondents in over 50 countries who report on popular struggles, and the debates that are shaping the left.
