Global image of countries in international wars: A scoping review of influencing factors.

ABSTRACT: This scoping review investigates factors influencing the international or global image of countries involved in international wars. Following Arksey and O'Malley's 5-step framework, key sources for the search include academic databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. Reporting followed the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) (Peters et al., 2020) and was guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodological guidelines. We systematically analyzed 56 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2024. Our analysis reveals that a country's global image during war is predominantly shaped by the dynamic interplay of three core factors: (1) Historical factors, providing cognitive and affective frameworks for interpreting conflict; (2) Diplomatic factors
