The relevance of the research topic is due to conflicting opinions about the need to preserve and prolong most operations in the region. In this regard, the opinions of experts with optimistic and pessimistic views on this problem are considered, and the stages of the evolution of peacekeeping activities are highlighted. The purpose of the study is to prove the validity of the assumption of the critical theory of the use of peacemaking by countries as a tool for realizing their foreign policy aspirations. Based on the analysis of German efforts to increase its military contingent in UN peacekeeping operations and maintain positions (despite the presence of oppositional representatives of the Parliament) in EU and NATO operations, it is proposed to identify the cause-and-effect relationships of such behavior. To achieve this goal, we used the method of historicism, which helped to identify the problems of the past that Germany is trying to get rid of by participating in the operations of international organizations, as well as the method of comparative analysis, which regulates the comparison of Germany’s efforts in missions with its foreign policy tasks. The analysis of the documents of the international organizations under consideration, as well as legislation and foreign policy doctrines of Germany, allows us to assess not only the legality of the country's operations outside its borders, but also to identify foreign policy priorities in order to obtain reliable results when comparing them. In conclusion, we present the following conclusions: the evolution of Germany’s efforts in the UN, EU and NATO missions in Africa. The results of the research reflect the postulates of critical theory in the process of studying German peacekeeping activities in Africa.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена изучению особенностей участия Германии в миротворческих операциях ООН, ЕС и НАТО в Африке. Актуальность темы исследования обусловлена противоречивостью мнений относительно необходимости сохранения и пролонгирования большинства операций в регионе. В связи с этим рассмотрены мнения экспертов, имеющих оптимистичные и пессимистичные взгляды на данную проблему, выделены этапы эволюции миротворческой деятельности. Целью исследования является доказательство состоятельности допущения критической теории об использовании странами миротворчества в качестве инструмента реализации своих внешнеполитических устремлений. На примере анализа германских усилий по наращиванию своего военного контингента в рамках миротворческих операций ООН и сохранению позиций (вопреки наличию оппозиционно настроенных представителей Парламента) в операциях ЕС и НАТО предлагается выявить причинно-следственные связи такого поведения государства. Для достижения поставленной цели использованы метод историзма, который помог выявить проблемы прошлого, от которых Германия посредством участия в операциях международных организаций пытается избавиться, а также метод сравнительного анализа, регулирующий сопоставление усилий Германии в миссиях с ее внешнеполитическими задачами. Анализ документов рассматриваемых международных организаций, а также законодательных актов и внешнеполитических доктрин Германии позволяет оценить не только законность проведения страной операций за пределами своих границ, но и выявить приоритеты внешней политики для получения достоверных результатов при сравнении. В заключении представлены выводы об эволюции усилий Германии в миссиях ООН, ЕС и НАТО в Африке и моделях поведения страны в операциях международных организаций. Результаты исследования отражают постулаты критической теории в процессе изучения миротворческой деятельности Германии в Африке.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>peacekeeping</kwd><kwd>UN</kwd><kwd>EU</kwd><kwd>NATO</kwd><kwd>Germany</kwd><kwd>Bundeswehr</kwd><kwd>critical theory</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>миротворчество</kwd><kwd>ООН</kwd><kwd>ЕС</kwd><kwd>НАТО</kwd><kwd>ФРГ</kwd><kwd>Бундесвер</kwd><kwd>критическая теория</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bretherton, C. &amp; Vogler, J.
