Description

I will discuss the role of anisotropy as a tool to discriminate among different scenarios for the origin of Galactic cosmic rays. The main aim of the presentation is that of stressing the need for a unified picture of acceleration, propagation, chemical composition and anisotropy. I will summarize the different contributions to cosmic ray anisotropies and the problems with current observations, especially with anisotropy on small angular scales.
