Prudentialism is a moral principle based on precautionary principles that are acting to avoid a particular negative effect.
For example, acting in self-defence or, indeed, pre-emptive attacks on "rogue" states.
Prudentialism is also a philosophy of constitutional interpretation that considers laws and powers from a pragmatic viewpoint.
