Chiral dynamics - status and perspectives

Abstract

I review the status of chiral perturbation theory in the one-nucleon sector and give some predictions to be tested. I then discuss various methods to go to higher energies (inclusion of the Delta(1232), dispersion relations) and also to higher precision (virtual photons and isospin violation).
