realpolitik |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.06 sec. |
realpolitikPolitics based on practical objectives rather than on ideals. The word does not mean “real” in the English sense but rather connotes “things”—hence a politics of adaptation to things as they are. Realpolitik thus suggests a pragmatic, no-nonsense view and a disregard for ethical considerations. In diplomacy it is often associated with relentless, though realistic, pursuit of the national interest. How to thank TFD for its existence?
