You are reading the first issue of the ICIP electronic magazine, PER LA PAU/PEACE IN PROGRESS
The magazine, which will initially be published seven times a year, in Catalan and English (and in the future, also in Spanish), aims to provide analysis and viewpoints. Its objective is to stimulate opinion and spread ideas, especially those fostered at the ICIP and in similar centres. In short, it will strive to be a medium that generates opinion, stimulates debate and has an effect on ideas and action, at a national and international level.

Introduction
-
The Mine Ban Treaty review conference and the disarmament agenda
The first monograph feature of Peace in Progress magazine looks at the disarmament and arms control agenda, in the context of the second mine ban treaty review conference, which is taking place in the city of Cartagena in Colombia, in November. We therefore start with a general overview of the subject and assess the importance of nuclear weapons compared to small and light weapons, with the article by Rafael Grasa. Maria Josep Parés then presents the objectives and challenges facing the Cartagena Conference, and considers the choice of Colombia as the venue for the Conference.

The culture of peace and public education: a comparative study of various textbooks in third year secondary education in Catalonia
The culture of peace and public education: a comparative study of various textbooks in third year secondary education in Catalonia. Barcelona: Catalan Federation of NGOs for Peace, 2009
This publication by the Catalan Federation of NGOs for Peace welcomes the inclusion of Education for Citizenship in the school curriculum, providing that this subject does not become a mere statement of good intentions, but is instead taught with consistency in its content, methodology, attitudes and also educational times and structures. In other words, it should increase critical awareness and enable learning of how to think and act in other ways.

The Oxford Research Group (http://oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk) is a well-known institution in the arena of security and the construction of peace and development, among other areas. The list of its collaborators in its various programmes is truly impressive: an example of this is the team of twenty people committed to the programme on human security and the Middle East.
