  These are the proceedings of the workshop on ``Chiral Effective Theories''
held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef of the Deutsche Physikalische
Gesellschaft, Bad Honnef, Germany from November 30 to December 4, 1998. The
workshop concentrated on Chiral Perturbation Theory in its various settings and
its relations with lattice QCD and dispersion theory. Included are a short
contribution per talk and a listing of some review papers on the subject.
