Detente is the deliberate easing of tensions between rival countries through negotiation and talk, and more diplomatic, commercial, and cultural exchange. It comes from a French word of the same spelling meaning, "loosening, relaxation." As in, "At times Israel and Egypt have made serious efforts at detente." Or, "Past efforts at detente by the United States and the current and former communist nations of China and Russia helped give rise to the capitalist businesses we see today in those nations."
