When studying these systems, a precise microscopic approach is unattainable. In practice, the best strategy is one that is able to “distinguish” between superfluous information and the information needed to make predictions about the evolution of the system. There are two main competing approaches: kinetic and hydrodynamic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCollective Phenomena in Plasmas and Elsewhere\u003c\/i\u003e presents an overview of the theoretical bases of these kinetic and hydrodynamic approaches, but also discusses their limitations, the links between them and their extension to quantum mechanics and relativity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese methods were born in part out of the study of plasmas, but they also have more universal applications. A general framework for these approaches is outlined, followed by some applications in plasmas, gravitation, Bose–Einstein condensates and dark matter. Particular emphasis is placed on the analogies that can be made between all these different systems.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKamel Ourabah\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor at the University of Science and Technology – Houari Boumediene, Algeria.
