Abstract: A large number of experimental discoveries especially in the heavy quarkonium sector that did notmeet the expectations of the until then very successful quark model led to a renaissance of hadronspectroscopy. Among various explanations of the internal structure of these excitations, hadronicmolecules, being analogs of light nuclei, play a unique role since for those predictions can be madewith controlled uncertainty. Experimental evidence of various candidates of hadronic molecules andmethods of identifying such structures are reviewed. Nonrelativistic effective field theories are thesuitable framework for studying hadronic molecules and are discussed in both the continuum andfinite volumes. Also pertinent lattice QCD results are presented. Further, the production mechanismsand decays of hadronic molecules are discussed and comments are given on the reliability of certainassertions often made in the literature.
