blockade

Procedure whereby a belligerent nation prevents the access of its enemy's coast to vital shipping of foodstuffs and war materials (maritime blockade, "blocus maritime"); in peacetime, can be used as a means of pressure by one power against another (pacific blockade, "blocus pacifique"): it leaves the door open for negotiations.
