The methodology of promotion rather than punishment improved religious freedom inLaos. Sanctions may not accomplish much, but they make us feel good, or at least powerful. Promotion of religious freedom has generated greater success, especially whenthis methodology is linked with vested self-interest. For example, security and trade can both improve when a government allows greater religious freedom, as other nations perceive the government in a favorable light and its citizens believe it has their interests at heart. Public-private diplomatic collaboration that prioritizes promotion and utilizes relational diplomacy will also lead to gains in religious freedom abroad
