Recent observational and theoretical developments in the study of novae, particularly dwarf novae, are discussed. Mechanisms promoting mass transfer include (i) nuclear evolution or (ii) envelope instability of the red star and (iii) gravitational radiation of orbital angular momentum. Growing observational evidence against (ii) is supported by recent theoretical work on the medium and long term response of stellar radii to mass loss. Mechanisms (i) and (iii) may operate alone or in concert, depending on the circumstances.
