The best way to manipulate people is by manipulating them without making them think that they are manipulated.
This means that they themselves must hold the idea that exhibiting certain desired behavior traits or entertaining a desired opinion is in fact something they themselves want. That is. They themselves must come to the conclusion that your opinion or your desire is "objectively" correct and good. Manipulating them in a certain way however necessarily implies that they don't know that they are manipulated. If they did know that then this would imply that they did not actually arrive at the conclusion. That is, their personal conclusion is missing and it (most likely) won't be identical to what you desire because they know that the idea you introduced is not something they themselves came up with. When it has become obvious that you're manipulating them, your own idea is nullified and your whole task failed.

There isn't one. What you need is positive reinforcement. Think of how you would train a dog, give him a treat once he does a desired thing.

this, mammals are more likely to associate positive reinforcement with the action they just performed, whereas punishment just makes them associate you with pain. You can argue humans are more complicated but a mammal in pain is a mammal in pain no matter which way you spin it
put another way, the reason people in harsh prison camps follow rules is because they're afraid of getting caught. the second this fear disappears (guards slip up etc) they do whatever the hell they want. positive reinforcement on the other hand actually encourages people to repeat the desired behavior.
this is why encouraging your citizens to spy on one another in exchange for benefits works better than putting in laws against doing things you don't want.
