[...] les rencontres entre responsables de la politique internationale se sont multipliées, au point de devenir le principal mode d'activité de la diplomatie contemporaine, qui tend, dès lors, à devenir une «diplomatie errante». La tendance à la personnalisation croissante du pouvoir exécutif, qui se manifeste un peu partout, y compris dans les pays parlementaires et démocratiques, ne contribue pas peu à la généralisation de cette pratique. Elle présente pourtant des inconvénients incontestables : ces rencontres «au sommet» - ou à mi-côte - concourent à rendre publique les difficultés internationales, quand elles n'ont pas pour effet de les envenimer. Elles sont trop souvent utilisées comme un moyen de propagande, une occasion de polémique et une arme dans la poursuite de la «guerre froide». 2, record 1, French, - conf%C3%A9rence%20au%20sommet
