Preemption

This doctrine is centered around the attempt to repel or defeat a perceived imminent offensive or invasion. The aim is to gain a strategic advantage in an impending (allegedly unavoidable) conflict shortly before it materializes into a crisis. Its principles include unilateralism and the use of preventative war.
