Abstract
The objective of this article is to draw a lesson from the EU-Israeli relations in the field of higher education, to reflect on the latest inter-national developments in the East Mediterranean area. The article examines the Israeli perceptions towards the Bologna Process and higher education developments in Europe, as well as outline its reactions to it. Through interviews with policy-makers and a qualitative analysis of official documents and political discussions, the article also follows how the response to Bologna in Israel has developed, and how the Bologna Process was perceived in Israel. Relying on the theoretical frameworks of normative power and external perceptions, the article elaborates how the Bologna Process' trajectory in Israel reflects a wider picture of EU-Israeli relations, and Israeli perceptions of Europe and the EU. The discussion elaborates on how this trajectory reflects on the latest development in the East Mediterranean area, and the strengthening political ties between Greece, Cyprus and Israel.
