Description How does the gender equality of an international organization affect its members’ willingness to engage in non-violent dispute resolution? Many scholars have devoted time and energy to determine whether international organizations promote or prevent peace without fully considering the characteristics of the organizations themselves. In this study, I argue that international organizations in which the average gender-equality of member states is high, “densely-gender equal IOs,” are more likely to mitigate conflict among member states. Highly gender-equal states are more likely to ‘demand’ and utilize conflict resolution mechanisms provided by these densely gender-equal IOs. Densely gender-equal IOs are also more likely to ‘supply’ better dispute mechanisms and influence the behavior of states in which peaceful conflict resolution is not a norm. These effects are a result of norm diffusion of peaceful dispute resolution through repeated interactions with gender-equal states in international organizations. I test these arguments using an aggregated measure of gender-equality of the IO and find support for both of my main arguments.
