- Book Synopsis
- <p><b>A conceptual framework for understanding the critical role of naval operations in deterrence strategies</b></p><p>A future clash between the United States and China would occur across the seas, islands, and peninsulas of the Indo-Pacific region. Thus, mastering maritime deterrence--creating and displaying naval power to discourage an attack--is vital for peace.</p><p><i>Conventional Maritime Deterrence </i>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.</p><p>This book will provide policymakers, naval officers, and scholars of international relations with insight into maritime deterrence for both current and future contests.</p>
