ABSTRACT

Recent global flux has prompted reexamination of transnational higher education (TNHE) in Asia and beyond. Yet, when education is delivered from one nation to another, home campuses are relied upon to ensure relevancy and sustainable impact on students and the host region where education is enacted. In the case discussed below, the theoretical framework of glocalization is used as an organizing construct to examine a joint venture where education is delivered from a home university in Buffalo, New York to a host site in Singapore. The tenets of glocalization are employed in examining the lasting impact of the case, and this chapter concludes by offering glocalization as a framework that holds potential to guide future TNHE ventures.
