We are very glad to present the fifth HORIZON: PAVE PEACE online Anthology to our readers all over our global village. There has been a demand from organizations and departments that use Horizon for their peace studies and peace education, to publish the next issue, and we have therefore decided to resume our task of helping to create a literature and culture of peace through intercultural bridges. It has not been easy to accomplish this project and giving life to our fifth infant, as this anthology like all the other Horizons before it, is a labor of love and all the work poured into it is on a purely voluntary basis. We warmly thank Solveig Hansen, from Norway, our expert technical editor, and all the contributors that have made this important task possible. Since its foundation in 1996, interest in peace culture has grown and Horizon has constantly from its outset been a guiding vehicle to peace researchers, educators and media. It provides conflict resolution conceptions, alternative models of development, and the deconstructing of enemy images, as well as international peace poetry and stories, and reports on peace conferences and projects.

It allows peace researchers, media and teachers, as well as the public at large, to share their insights and experience into how to spread alternatives to violence in a complex world of strife and national conflicts. It also draws attention to the urgent need of a new objective trend in the media, that reports on positive cultural developments instead of a media that mainly focuses on sensational reporting of crime, violence and disasters that inflate the negative aspects of society, and is a deformation of reality and normalcy. The publishing of Horizon 5 constitutes a contribution to this new kind of genuine peace culture and communication required in order to improve regional and global well-being, and the building of a world beyond war. We are glad that Horizon is used as a textbook in various universities, colleges and schools throughout our global village. We hope it will help in the spreading of a cultural climate of peace and the progress of our civilizations and contribute to the sustainable development of our planet. May multicultural peace culture help in making this millennium one of hope and fruitful accomplishments. The Editors.
