“…We chose to study a competitive strategy game, which, to our knowledge, has not been done before and which should therefore provide fresh insights and a new perspective. Diplomacy has an established track record of being used in research, especially in the context of education and international relations (Bridge & Radford, 2014;Drmola & Kraus, 2022;Kruskopf et al, 2021).…”

Games allow players significant freedom to express themselves and behave as they see fit. As a consequence, in some games more than others, we may encounter hostile behavior. We explored whether players behaving in this manner are simply expressing their personality traits in the game or, rather, adopting this playstyle regardless of them. We conducted a three-year study observing over 250 people playing the turn-based, player-versus-player strategy game Diplomacy. Subjects were asked to fill out a questionnaire to determine their score on the social dominance orientation (SDO) scale—with a return rate of approx. 54%—while their in-game playstyle was analyzed for manifestations of hostile behavior. We found no statistically significant correlation between hostile in-game behavior and participants’ SDO score. However, we did find significant positive correlations between some aspects of this behavior and their success.

Gender diplomacy is a critical examination of the impact of women on global affairs, specifically focusing on their roles in key diplomatic positions such as ambassadors, foreign ministers, and heads of international organizations. This article employs a thorough analysis of statistical data and trends to assess the extent of gender parity in decision-making positions within international relations. It explores the influence of women's participation in shaping international relations, emphasizing instances where their involvement has contributed to conflict resolution and the implementation of gender-driven strategies. The article also sheds light on successful examples of gender-equal diplomacy while addressing pervasive challenges such as minimal representation, glass ceilings, and cultural biases. Structural and personal barriers are explored, with a particular emphasis on the absence of gender-sensitive policies and the delicate balance required between work and family commitments. To propel gender equality within the diplomatic arena, the article proposes a series of strategic measures, including policy recalibration, awareness initiatives, and robust international cooperation. The overarching goal is to foster a diplomatic environment characterized by genuine and comprehensive gender parity
