[Cold peace] is contrasted against a cold war, in which at least two states which are not openly pursuing a state of war against each other, openly or covertly support conflicts between each other's client states or allies. Cold peace, while marked by similar levels of mistrust and antagonistic domestic policy between the two governments and populations, does not result in proxy wars, formal incursions, or similar conflicts. 2, record 2, English, - cold%20peace
