  In dense stellar systems the frequent dynamical interactions between stars
play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of compact binaries. We
study these processes using a novel approach combining a state-of-the-art
binary population synthesis code with a simple treatment of dynamical
interactions in dense star cluster cores. Here we focus on the dynamical and
evolutionary processes leading to the formation of compact binaries containing
white dwarfs in dense globular clusters. We demonstrate that dynamics can
increase by factors ~ 2 - 100 the production rates of interesting binaries such
as cataclysmic variables, ``nonflickerers'' (He white dwarfs with a heavier
dark companion), merging white dwarf binaries with total masses above the
Chandrasekhar limit, and white dwarf binaries emitting gravitational waves in
the LISA band.
