interim agreement

 
     
  The modern term for what used to be called a modus vivendi, this is a temporary or provisional agreement which is designed ostensibly to be replaced later on by one which is possibly more detailed, probably more comprehensive, and certainly more permanent. Interim agreements tend to be popular because they can be presented both as the only way to advance to a final settlement and the only way to forestall one. See also framework treaty; heads of agreement; step-by-step diplomacy.
