... what has been stressed so far [in the] analysis are the ways religious minorities, religious diversity, and religious transnationalism can become sources of religious conflict and pose challenges to international security. However, they also offer new, untapped resources for diplomacy and international co-operation.... Faith-based diplomacy recognizes that if religion is a part of the problem of international conflict, it also needs to be a part of the solution. It is with this wider conception of diplomacy that a country's ethnic or religious minorities, through their global social and commercial links to their wider diaspora communities, could become an effective resource for [the country's] foreign policy... 1, record 2, English, - religious%20minority

L'exemple souvent cité pour illustrer le "no-regret policy" est celui de cette stratégie qui, pour mettre un frein au réchauffement planétaire, propose de réduire la consommation d'énergie fossile. Même si, éventuellement, cette solution ne permettait pas de freiner substantiellement le réchauffement climatique, les économies d'énergie non renouvelable réalisés en appliquant cette solution constitueraient un pas important dans la bonne direction. En conséquence les décideurs n'auraient rien à se reprocher. À l'inverse, une stratégie risquée en serait une mettant de l'avant une solution qui, si elle se révélait inefficace pour résoudre le problème, retournerait tout simplement les décideurs à la case départ avec un échéancier plus court. 1, record 5, French, - politique%20du%20sans%20reproche
