Détente refers to the period of improved relations and relaxation of tensions between the USSR and the US in the 1960s - 1970s. Ostpolitik was West Germany's policy towards the East. Rapprochement is a general term for improved relations but not specific to this US - USSR context. Realpolitik is about practical politics based on power rather than ideology.
