The term doctrine refers to a principle, or set of closely related principles, used in government, law or religion that governs an issue and requires a result, or explicit formulation, in a dogmatic (authoritarian) manner.
Religious doctrines are defined as "the set of beliefs and teachings that individuals subscribe to as part of their faith, encompassing cognitive beliefs and trust in God's mercy as outlined in religious texts and traditions."[1]
In government, doctrines typically apply to foreign relations, as in the Monroe Doctrine or Bush Doctrine.
In law, doctrines typically develop through application of several judicial decisions as precedent.
