A British diplomatic term, now somewhat dated, for procrastinating in a negotiation in the expectation that future circumstances will put the other side in a weaker position, lead it to drop the issue altogether or see it disappear into political oblivion. The Florentines, who were also keen on this tactic, called it ‘enjoying the benefit of time’. See also Guicciardini. |
