Abstract:
In the last few years Russia has progressively accentuated the need to grow human capital. This area of economic transformation is viewed as one of the most promising ways to accelerate innovation processes and increase labor productivity. Thus, Russia has increased its contribution to the Middle East countries by focusing support in education which could produce a much bigger effect compared with other support instruments. One of the tools for prioritizing the development of human capital in cooperation with the Middle East is the creation of a ramified network of education alliances. This article will examine the strategy that Russia is using to promote its education in the Middle East which includes bilateral education alliances, regional education initiatives on establishing joint centers of technical and educational development. The paper’s conclusion is that Russia’s educational strategy today would provide a long-term positive effect on economic and political relations between countries for generations.
