The evolution of families of resonant periodic orbits in the circular and elliptic restricted problem into families of the general problem is studied. A systematic approach is introduced to generate resonant periodic orbits in the circular, elliptic restricted and the general three-body problem. The bifurcation phenomena in the restricted problem are studied, analyzed and compared with the bifurcation phenomena in the general problem. A new method to determine the linear stability of periodic orbits of the general three-body problem by surfaces of section is introduced. The method calculates the characteristic exponents of a periodic orbit by using a nonrotating heliocentric coordinate system rather than the usual rotating coordinate system. The stability characteristics of families of resonant periodic orbits of the asteroidal type, especially of the Hecuba, Hilda and Thule groups, are analyzed. Two new families of periodic orbits with a 5:2 resonance and having the mass ratio of the Sun-Jupiter-Saturn system are found, and their stability characteristics are studied. A new type of bifurcation phenomenon in periodic orbits of the general three-body problem is discovered.
