The study provides a brief overview of the history of the French colonial empire, which allowed the author to distinguish several stages in its management and functioning. The research method was the study of cooperation programs in various spheres initiated by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, state agencies, regional councils, as well as international associations of territorial entities, along with specific examples of cooperation, particularly the signing of agreements directly between the French regions and the central authorities of African nations. As a result of this study, the author concludes that experience of decentralization of France’s foreign policy activities can be partially used in the Russian Federation foreign policy practice.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Рассматривается новое явление в истории взаимоотношений между Францией и ее бывшими колониями - осуществление в последние годы программ децентрализованного сотрудничества с государствами Африки, в частности, взаимодействие французских регионов, как административно-территориальных единиц, с африканскими партнерами. Дается краткий обзор истории Французской колониальной империи, позволяющий выделить несколько этапов в ее управлении и функционировании. Изучен процесс принятия решений в реализации внешнеполитических приоритетов с целью поддержания влияния Франции на африканском континенте. В фокусе исследования - изучение программ сотрудничества в различных сферах, инициированных по линии МИД Франции, государственных агентств, региональных советов, международных ассоциаций территориальных образований, а также были рассмотрены конкретные примеры сотрудничества, в частности, подписание соглашений напрямую между французскими регионами и центральными властями африканских государств. Автор приходит к выводу, что опыт децентрализации внешнеполитической деятельности Франции может быть отчасти использован в отечественной внешнеполитической практике.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>French colonial empire</kwd><kwd>decentralization</kwd><kwd>region</kwd><kwd>development aid</kwd><kwd>Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Французская колониальная империя</kwd><kwd>децентрализация</kwd><kwd>регион</kwd><kwd>помощь развитию</kwd><kwd>МИД Франции</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Harmand J.
