Scientific paper

I review the current knowledge of high-energy emission from extragalctic jets. First I discuss gamma-ray emission from blazars, which provides us numerous precious information on the innermost portions of the relativistic jets. I describe the constraints on the dynamics of the jet from the subpc to the pc scale provided by recent VLBI studies of TeV sources, together with the modelling of the emission from the blazar jet. Finally I discuss high energy emission from large scale jets as seen by Chandra and I report on the expected gamma-ray emission from large-scale regions of jets.
