A foreign policy doctrine is a general statement of foreign policy and belief system through a doctrine. In some cases, the statement is made by a political leader, typically a nation’s chief executive or chief diplomat, and comes to be named after that leader. Richard Nixon’s justification for the phased withdrawal of the United States from Vietnam, for example, came to be called the Nixon Doctrine. This pattern of naming is not universal, however; Chinese doctrines, for example, are often referred to by number. The purpose of a foreign policy doctrine is to provide general rules for the conduct of foreign policy through decisions on international relations. These rules allow the political leadership of a nation to deal with a situation and to explain the actions of a nation to other nations. “Doctrine” is usually not meant to have any negative connotations; it is especially not to be confused with “dogma.” Argentina Calvo Doctrine Drago Doctrine China See also: Chinese numbered policies Germany Hallstein Doctrine Ulbricht Doctrine India Gujral Doctrine Japan Fukuda Doctrine Yoshida Doctrine Mexico Estrada Doctrine Russia / Soviet Union Brezhnev Doctrine Sinatra Doctrine United Kingdom Palmerston Doctrine Blair Doctrine United States 1823: Monroe Doctrine 1842: Tyler Doctrine 1932: Stimson Doctrine 1947: Truman Doctrine 1957: Eisenhower Doctrine 1961: Kennedy Doctrine 1965: Johnson Doctrine 1969: Nixon Doctrine 1980: Carter Doctrine 1981: Kirkpatrick Doctrine 1984: Weinberger Doctrine 1985: Reagan Doctrine 1990: Powell Doctrine 1999: Clinton Doctrine 2002: Bush Doctrine 2002: Rumsfeld Doctrine |
