David
Bornstein receives 2007 CUSA Human Security Award
On October 25th 2007, writer David Bornstein received the
2007 Human Security Award for his pioneering work on social
entrepreneurship. The Human Security Award is given annually by the
Coalition Advocating Human Security (CAHS) to recognize an individual
who is working to protect and empower the world’s most vulnerable
people. CAHS is a program of the University of California Irvine’s
Center for Unconventional Security Affairs (CUSA).

Richard A. Matthew |
Mr. Bornstein is the author of How to Change the
World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, which tells
the stories of individuals - from doctors to lawyers, from engineers to
journalists – who are successfully demonstrating that one person with a
powerful idea and a passionate drive to succeed can bring positive
changes to the lives of thousands or even millions.
The New York Times comments How to
Change the World is, “must reading for anyone who cares about
building a more equitable, and therefore, more stable world.”
He is
also the author of The Price of a Dream: The Story of the Grameen
Bank, which chronicles the worldwide growth of the anti-poverty
strategy “micro-credit.” The Price of a Dream, which drew on ten months
of research in villages in Bangladesh, won second prize in the Harry
Chapin Media Awards, was a finalist for the Helen Bernstein New York
Public Library Book Award for Excellence in Journalism, and was selected
by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the best business books of
1996.

- 2007 Human Security Graduate Fellowships -
Prior to Mr. Bornstein’s lecture on
social entrepreneurship, CAHS also announced the winners of its 2007
fellowships. CAHS awards two types of Fellowships each
year. The first fellowship, the Heather Mills McCartney Graduate
Fellowship in Human Security, was established in 2004 in honor of the
significant contributions to human security issues made by Heather Mills
McCartney.
These fellowships allow graduate students to undertake
original research on pressing security issues, and enables CUSA to help
prepare the next generation of business, policy, and academic leaders
for the challenges they will face.
