Abstract
This study examines the intersection of educational technologies and digital diplomacy through a comparative analysis of Turkish, Iranian, and Chinese universities. The research explores how these institutions leverage educational technologies to enhance their international presence and engage in digital diplomacy initiatives. Turkish universities demonstrate openness in international collaboration, Iranian institutions navigate diplomatic challenges through selective digital engagement, and Chinese universities utilize comprehensive digital platforms for global influence. The findings suggest that educational technologies serve as powerful tools for soft power projection and international relationship building, with each country adapting these technologies to align with their broader diplomatic objectives and cultural contexts.
