Thus, mastering maritime deterrence--creating and displaying naval power to discourage an attack--is vital for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConventional Maritime Deterrence revives and updates our understanding of how deterrence at sea differs from its terrestrial counterpart. Adam Lockyer examines four types of maritime deterrence strategies: offensive sea control, defensive sea control, offensive sea denial, and defensive sea denial. These fleet operations showcase what crises a nation can plan to respond to, how it can intend to respond, and the likely success of these efforts. Lockyer conducts analysis of cases throughout history and also takes a deeper look at the US Maritime Strategy from the late Cold War in the Pacific, ultimately finding that the credibility of conventional maritime deterrence rests upon what a naval power can be seen to do rather than what it can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will provide policymakers, naval officers, and scholars of international relations with insight into maritime deterrence for both current and future contests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Lockyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647127238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647127237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Adam Lockyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48175767683327,"sku":"9781647127237","price":134.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d28f905d-fa8a-4f92-9bd1-9aa0723ae299.jpg?v=1771335777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conventional-maritime-deterrence-adam-lockyer-9781647127237","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
