Abstract	In anticipation of a globalising post-Fordist political economy, countries and universities are increasingly pursuing strategic transnational education and research alliances. This article analyses the Global Schoolhouse, a key education policy platform that aims to transform Singapore into a knowledge and innovation hub by establishing networks and collaborations with foreign universities. Two Global Schoolhouse initiatives are examined--the alliance between Singapore and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and the institutional restructuring aimed at re-modelling the National University of Singapore into a "leading global university centred in Asia". We outline some of the complexities and unanticipated outcomes which emerge when nations and their education institutions seek to globalise. (Contains 4 footnotes and 2 figures.) (As Provided).
