Breadcrumb

The GenDip Program aims to identify and analyse the changing nature of gender in diplomacy. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, most diplomats were men. But in the twenty-first century, the proportion of women has increased markedly. What happens to diplomacy when women come onto the stage? How does this impact relations between states? These are just some of the more overarching questions that this research program seeks answers to.

Research and data

GenDip is committed to producing empirically novel and theoretically innovative research that is relevant to both the diplomatic community and the public at large. The program provides two datasets: the GenDip dataset and the EU-GenDip dataset. The visualization tools offer an opportunity to explore the GenDip data from different perspectives.
