Fourth World nations have themselves on which to depend on defending against the crises—natural and human-made. Each nation must develop its defenses, organize alliances, and create new international mechanisms to establish new rules for the conduct of relations between nations, states, and corporations.
The Fourth World Journal has served nations by offering analysis and information applying traditional knowledge systems to advance traditional healing arts and sciences and formulate strategies and practices to effect constructive results for the present and future of nations.
We continue this tradition in this issue with practical and concrete essays by CWIS Associate Scholars and some of the finest minds of and in support of the Fourth World. We publish several articles in this issue in English and Spanish to benefit of our global audience.
