a central role in the understanding of complex dynamical behavior exhibited by various natural and man-­‐made nonlinear systems. In order to give the feeling of how this is actually so, I will first present a small part of my recollection of my own research activity around the mid seventieth of the last century when I first stepped into this field of science,. Actually, in those days I was unconsciously led to the idea of reduction in the attempt of mathematically explaining the curious self-­‐organized patterns developing in a chemical reaction called the Belousov-­‐Zhabotinsky reaction. In the latter part of this talk, further evidence of how the reduction idea works powerfully will be provided by focusing on a universal class of phenomena called synchronization, which has been the subject of my utmost concern over the last few tens years. Finally, a few remarks will be given on the significance of reduction from a more general point of view.
