Abstract

Basic ideas and definitions are surveyed concerning the theory of magnetic reconnection in plasmas, a phenomenon occurring under rather various and different conditions, both in astrophysical systems and in laboratory experiments. Approaches to the description of this phenomenon are reviewed, discussing in the last part a linearized analysis for collisionless regimes.
