Shocks, plasma instabilities and undisturbed flows in parsec-scale jets

We discuss the relative contributions made by shocks, plasma instabilities and undisturbed flows to the emission and dynamics of compact, extragalactic jets. We summarize recent, in-depth studies of the jets in 3C 273 and 3C 345 and show that interpretation of these result calls for a new paradigm f...
