Abstract
A new era of tokamak transport physics research has opened up with the discovery of a variety of internal transport barrier regimes. With suppression of some instabilities in the plasma, subdominant transport processes can be observed for the first time. In this paper, the theory of internal and edge transport barriers is reviewed with an emphasis on what is still needed in order to have a predictive transport theory of tokamak plasmas with barriers.
