%X ABSTRACT The goal of nuclear structure physics is to provide a complete understanding of the static properties of atomic nuclei, their excitation spectra, their response to external fields and their decays. While it is hard to achieve these goals within a single framework, so that there is no nuclear ¡®standard model¡¯, it is clear that nuclear Density Functional Theory (DFT) has probably the widest range of applicability so far. In this paper, we try to put DFT in a broader context, with frequent comparisons to electronic DFT. We also include a discussion of the relationships with ab initio methods and Effective Field Theories (EFTs) in general, as well as a short survey of the quite large number of applications. Although written with a personal and possibly biased perspective, the paper aims at fostering cross-fertilizations with other domains of science. Graphical Abstrac
