"This article focuses on emerging patterns of inter-organizational cooperation in peacekeeping missions in Africa – between the United Nations, the African Union and the European Union. The overwhelming majority of current operations build on some kind of interorganizational arrangements. At least three forms of cooperation have emerged on the continent, of which sequential, parallel and integrated deployment of troops are the dominant forms. Based on rational and sociological institutionalist approaches, the article explains the selection of cooperation types by international organizations, by exploring the conditions that trigger the selection of a certain form of cooperation."

This research addresses the significant challenges confronting African states at the forefront of conflict management on the continent. It begins with a simple observation: since the end of the Cold War, African states have been increasingly asked to provide peacekeeping forces to assist their neighbors embroiled in civil war and state crises. A variety of sub-regional, regional and international bodies have facilitated the deployment of troops from these relatively stronger states. Supporting this trend, the international community finds it convenient to argue for African peacekeeping efforts in Africa. But what kinds of solutions are really being provided? In addressing these points, this paper looks at the current active multilateral peacekeeping operations in Africa. The overall objective is to arrive at a better understanding of the critical African actors that are increasingly being pushed to the forefront to undertake peacekeeping on the continent.

The article aims to present a general outlook of the ongoing peacekeeping operations of the most important international, European and African military and civilian organizations. Peacekeeping has become very important after the independence of African countries because of the continuous conflicts that devastate the war-torn continent. The establishments taking part in this effort include the United Nations, NATO, the European Union and the African Union. After giving a general picture of the nature of the peacekeeping operations, the article goes on one by one each of the organizations to describe their role and participation in the recent peacekeeping activities that characterize the world's landscape now. In the end, the author assesses the situation, gives a comprehensive conclusion and provides some future aspects that he thinks will be probable in the forthcoming years regarding peacekeeping attitudes.
This chapter examines the relationship between the United Nations and regional organizations and its implications for the effectiveness, coherence, and impact of multidimensional peacekeeping. In particular, it considers the UN’s increased cooperation with organizations such as the European Union, the African Union, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and explores the successes as well as the limitations of these partnerships. The first part of the chapter provides a brief historical overview of the ambiguous relationship between ‘universalism’ and ‘regionalism’. The second part of the chapter explores the advances, successes and level of institutionalization between the UN and selected regional organizations. Part three of the chapter examines the key challenges and limitations in the relationship between the UN and regional organizations in the field of multidimensional peacekeeping. While cooperation schemes have advanced considerably through institutionalization and pragmatic coordination, structural rivalry, divergent strategic visions, as well as technical and administrative obstacles nevertheless serve as a reminder of the inherent difficulties of peacekeeping partnerships.
