In this overview, recent progress on the experimental analysis and theoretical models for non-local transport (non-Fickian fluxes in real space) are overviewed. The non-locality in the heat and momentum transport observed in the plasma, the departures from linear fluxgradient proportionality and spontaneously and externally triggered non-local transport phenomena will be described in both L-mode and improved-mode plasmas. We will report on ongoing evaluation of "fast front" and "intrinsically nonlocal" models, and their success in comparisons with experimental data.
