Definition of realpolitik in English English dictionary

Pragmatic international government policy concerned with perceived interests of the nation

{i} practical politics, political policy based on the use of force

politics based on practical situations and needs rather than on moral principles or ideas. Politics 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

politics based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations
