Psychological science has the potential to contribute to international diplomacy, and thereby indirectly to the prevention of conflicts between and within states that may escalate to wars. In this introduction of the Special Issue on Diplomacy and Psychology, different varieties of diplomacy are first briefly introduced. Then follows an enumeration of areas of psychological research that show the greatest promise of being directly or indirectly relevant to diplomacy. These research areas include judgement and decision making in negotiations and social dilemmas, social justice, intergroup conflicts, and intercultural processes. An additional area is research on environmental policy making, whose important role needs to be better recognized in international diplomacy. Overviews are also given of the articles included in the Special Issue. La psychologie scientifique peut apporter une contribution a la diplomatie internationale et prevenir ainsi indirectement les conflits a l'interieur et entre les etats qui pourraient degenerer en guerres. Cette introduction au numero special consacre a diplomatie et psychologie expose brievement les differents types de diplomatie. Puis, elle enumere les domaines dans lesquels la recherche en psychologie est la plus prometteuse pour la diplomatie. Ces domaines de recherche comprennent le jugement et al prise de decision dans les negociations et les conflits sociaux, la justice sociale, les conflits entre groupes et les processus interculturels. Un autre domaine est la recherche sur la politique environnementale dont l'importance doit etre mieux reconnue en diplomatie internationale. Cette introduction fournit aussi un apercu des articles qui composent ce numero special.
