In today's world, countries seek to resolve issues between them more cost-effectively by using diplomatic channels rather than resorting to military force. Diplomacy takes the lead among these channels. Diplomacy is a field of practice that aims to prevent issues between states from reaching the stage of using force by effectively utilizing negotiation and communication channels before reaching that point. The purpose of diplomatic initiatives and activities is essentially to enable powerful countries to achieve their goals without the need for the use of force. Due to the execution of international diplomatic efforts by the public sector, the term used more frequently is 'public diplomacy.' The tools employed by public diplomacy include education, culture, sports, scientific, and artistic activities. Public diplomacy primarily aims for success through effective communication with civil society organizations and involving them in processes.
Education diplomacy is one of the most important tools used by public diplomacy. Countries that seek to exert influence internationally use the field of education for their national interests. Through education diplomacy, different cultures get to know each other, and international collaborations in education eliminate different perspectives between societies, promote the acceptance of differences, and view all diversities as richness. In the field of education diplomacy, the most commonly used tool is the higher education sector. On a local level, education diplomacy can also be used to involve all segments of society in the education process. The inclusion of disabled individuals, refugees, and immigrants in the education process can be achieved through various persuasion processes, namely through diplomacy. The targeted outcome of education diplomacy is to develop international collaborations in education, influence public opinion using scientists, and achieve political goals that align with one's interests. This study focuses on a literature review of the concept of diplomacy and how it can be applied in the field of education. In this context, the concepts of diplomacy, public diplomacy, and education diplomacy will be discussed. Then, an attempt will be made to identify the duties and responsibilities of educational leadership for the effective use of education diplomacy in educational management."
