Konzilianz is a set of traditional Austrian values without a direct equivalent in English.

It includes, but is not limited to,

• avoiding frontal confrontation as well as
• being diplomatic while
• relentlessly pursuing one's long-term goals.

In The World of Yesterday, Stefan Zweig described it as of the "most secret, typically Austrian" powers.

One can argue that it is because of Konzilianz that Austria avoided the responsibilty for atrocities of World War II, while Germany is being occupied by one of its "liberators" 78 years after the fall of the Third Reich.
