  The X-ray properties of 15 nearby (v<3,000 km/s) galaxies that possess AGN
and/or starbursts are discussed. Two-thirds have nuclear extended emission on
scales from ~0.5 to ~1.5 kpc that is either clearly associated with a nuclear
outflow or morphologically resembles an outflow. Galaxies that are
AGN-dominated tend to have linear structures while starburst-dominated galaxies
tend to have plume-like structures. Significant X-ray absorption is present in
the starburst regions, indicating that a circumnuclear starburst is sufficient
to block an AGN at optical wavelengths. Galaxies with starburst activity
possess more X-ray point sources within their central kpc than non-starbursts.
Many of these sources are more luminous than typical X-ray binaries. The
Chandra results are discussed in terms of the starburst-AGN connection, a
revised unified model for AGN, and possible evolutionary scenarios.
