Title: Higher education and science policies in the Arab region: National, regional and 
	 global processes
Abstract: In this paper we discuss the interaction between science policies (and 
	 particularly in the area of scientific research) and higher education 
	 policies in Gulf and Mediterranean Arab countries. Our analysis reveals 
	 a discrepancy between the two sub-regions with respect to integration in 
	 the global market, cooperation in scientific research and international 
	 mobility of students. The paper discusses the implications of the 
	 analysis of reform policies and higher education restructuring.
