Particular emphasis is given to new ways of analyzing data (such as studying barrier distributions), new approaches to channel coupling (such as the path-integral and Green’s function formalisms), and alternative methods to describe nuclear structure effects (such as those using the interacting boson model). The roles of nucleon transfer, asymmetry effects, higher-order couplings, and shape phase transitions are elucidated. The current status of the fusion of unstable nuclei and very massive systems are briefly discussed.
