Preferred term

modus vivendi  

Definition

  • A modus vivendi is literally a “way of living,” a working arrangement between contending parties that enables peaceful coexistence while the parties attempt to work out the dispute. In contemporary political theory, it has become associated with a way of thinking about the stability of a society characterized by deep pluralism—whether ideological, religious, national, cultural, or ethnic. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Modus Vivendi]
