Description
I will illustrate the type of information that we can gather on acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays from measurement of anisotropy. More specifically I will focus on two issues: 1) a discussion the the problems arising from the measured anisotropy when compared with the standard supernova remnant paradigm for the origin of cosmic rays; 2) a discussion of the implications of the Pierre Auger, ICETOP and KASCADE-Grande measurements for the transition from Galactic to extragalactic cosmic rays and how these implications confront the measured anisotropy in the EeV energy range.
