Based on the case study method, the principle of historicism and a chronological approach, the author proposes a classification and a comprehensive analysis of the AU operations, from the first to the current missions. The aim of the research is to provide a balanced characterisation of the AU in conflict resolution by describing both the missions and the external environment in which they have been deployed, and by abstracting from the deliberately negative connotations associated with assessments of the potential of regional security forces. It analyses the dynamics, legal frameworks, characteristics and outcomes of deployed peacekeeping operations, both under the auspices of the AU alone (in Burundi, Comoros, Sudan/Darfur, Somalia) and in cooperation with the UN and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) (in Darfur, Mali, Central African Republic, CAR). As a result of the study, the author describes the key parameters of established models of African conflict resolution. The experience and practice of the AU - UN interaction show that the AU is ready to quickly respond to emerging crises and to contain bloodshed, often in the absence of peace processes and well before the UN intervention. The current format of interaction between the two organizations demonstrates the readiness of the UN to deploy its own contingents once the “hot” phase of the conflict is over and conditions for political dialogue are formed. However, with the launch of the first and so far only hybrid UN - AU mission (UNAMID) a new model of cooperation is gradually emerging that complements the existing simple “division of labor.” The purely regional format of peacekeeping stems from the potential of regional actors. The African Union, as a continental regional organization, plays a crucial role in maintaining the regional security regime, while sub-regional organizations carry out operational functions on the basis of regional security arrangements. The author assesses the peacekeeping missions carried out and highlights the challenges faced by African peacekeepers in their work.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Рассматривается опыт миротворческой деятельности Африканского союза (АС), претендующего на роль ключевого провайдера безопасности на Африканском континенте. Опираясь на метод кейс-стади, принцип историзма и хронологический подход, автор предлагает классификацию и анализ операций АС, начиная с первых и заканчивая текущими миссиями. Цель исследования - дать сбалансированную характеристику АС в разрешении конфликтов, описав как сами миссии, так и внешнюю среду, в которой они разворачивались, абстрагируясь от заведомо негативных коннотаций, связанных с оценками потенциала региональных сил безопасности. Анализируются динамика, правовые рамки, особенности и итоги развернутых миротворческих операций как под эгидой исключительно АС (в Бурунди, на Коморских островах, в Судане/Дарфуре, Сомали), так и в сотрудничестве с ООН и Экономическим сообществом западноафриканских государств (ЭКОВАС) (в Дарфуре, Мали, Центральноафриканской Республике (ЦАР)). По итогам проведенного исследования автор описывает ключевые параметры сложившихся моделей урегулирования африканских конфликтов. Опыт и практика взаимодействия АС и ООН указывают на готовность Африканского союза оперативно реагировать на вспыхивающие кризисы, зачастую в отсутствие мирных процессов и задолго до вмешательства ООН. Текущий формат взаимодействия двух организаций демонстрирует готовность ООН развертывать собственные контингенты после завершения «горячей» фазы конфликта и при наличии благоприятных условий для политического диалога. Однако с запуском первой и пока единственной гибридной миссии по линии ООН и АС (ЮНАМИД) постепенно выстраивается новая модель сотрудничества, дополняющая простое «разделение труда». Сугубо региональный формат миротворчества исходит из потенциала региональных акторов. АС как континентальная региональная организация берет на себя бóльшую роль в управлении региональным режимом безопасности, при этом субрегиональные организации выполняют оперативные функции, опираясь на региональные механизмы безопасности. Дается оценка проведенных миротворческих миссий и указываются проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются в своей работе африканские миротворцы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>peacekeeping</kwd><kwd>security</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>African Union</kwd><kwd>the AU</kwd><kwd>the UN</kwd><kwd>ECOWAS</kwd><kwd>regional economic communities</kwd><kwd>African solutions</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>миротворчество</kwd><kwd>поддержание мира</kwd><kwd>безопасность</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>Африканский союз</kwd><kwd>АС</kwd><kwd>ООН</kwd><kwd>ЭКОВАС</kwd><kwd>региональные экономические сообщества</kwd><kwd>африканские решения</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">Apuuli, K.
