High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Machiavellianism is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "the employment of cunning and duplicity in statecraft or in general conduct," deriving from the Italian Renaissance diplomat and writer Niccol Machiavelli, who wrote Il Principe (The Prince) and other works. "Machiavellian" (and variants) as a word became very popular in the late 16th century in English, though "Machiavellianism" itself is first cited by the Oxford English Dictionary from 1626. The word has a similar use in modern psychology.
