Definition

  • Foreign policy doctrines are broad articulations of interest and objectives that serve both to guide the domestic formulation of policy and to communicate a state's policy intent to other actors in the international system. The doctrines contain principles to guide actions rather than specific prescriptions for action. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Doctrines]
