Scientific paper

The basic ingredients of models for the internal dynamics of globular clusters are reviewed, with an emphasis on the description of equilibrium configurations. The development of progressive complexity in the models is traced, concentrating on the inclusion of velocity anisotropy, rotation, and integrals of motion other than energy. Applications to observations of extragalactic globulars and to combined radial-velocity and proper-motion datasets are discussed.
