The term doctrine refers to a principle, or set of closely related principles, used in government or law that governs an issue and requires a result in a dogmatic manner.
In government, doctrines typically apply to foreign relations, as in the Monroe Doctrine.
In law, doctrines typically develop through application of several judicial decisions as precedent.
