Jahan Prize “Globalization is a complex phenomenon that has had far-reaching effects. Not surprisingly, therefore, the term “globalization”’ has acquired many emotive connotations and become a hotly contested issue in current political discourse. At one extreme, globalization is seen as an irresistible and benign force for delivering economic prosperity to people throughout the world. At the other, it is blamed as a source of all contemporary ills.” (from Report of the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization. A Fair Globalization: Creating Opportunities for All, International Labour Office, Geneva, Switzerland, 2004, p. 24). The Torang Jahan Prize was established in 2003 by UCLA alumna Ms. Torang Jahan (B.A., 1993), to encourage and acknowledge outstanding graduate student scholarship in the area of globalization studies. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in Psychology, Ms. Jahan started a successful business, Federal Research Center, Inc., specializing in research and information retrieval. Located in Glendale, California, the company provides information services throughout the United States and Canada. The prize recognizes Ms. Torang Jahan’s continued interest in the study of globalization and international issues. 2006 Torang Jahan Prize Announcement 2005 Torang Jahan Prize Winner
