- Abstract
This paper examines the Soviet-Arab cooperation in the domain of higher education and particularly the education of Arab students in the USSR. It argues that educational cooperation took shape on the ground of shared beliefs about the role of the state in the process of economic development and modernization. Soviet educational aid constituted a major vehicle for the transfer and implementation of Soviet ideas about modernization. It played a significant role in the development of Arab countries and marked the Soviet-Arab partnership.
