Modern Kazakhstan peacemaking in the context of world practice: Experience of sociological analysis

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the problems of peacekeeping in modern Kazakhstan. Within the framework of the work, an attempt is made to form the main issues of the sociological dimension of peacemaking, in relation to the Kazakh sociological practice. It is noted that peacekeeping practices emerged in the political history of the twentieth century as an international means of stabilizing the socio-political situation in various regions.

It is concluded that participation in peacekeeping missions is evaluated in the professional environment as an authoritative experience that increases the personal and professional status of military personnel, which is in demand in the military education system. Participation in peacekeeping missions is assessed as an integral component of military service, which, even if voluntary, corresponds to the value imperatives of servicemen as defenders of the fatherland.

Accordingly, the interviewed Kazakh internationalists note the high practical importance of such missions for generalizing experience and maintaining a high level of combat capability of the armed forces.
