I review the chiral dynamics of nuclear physics. In the first part, I discuss\nthe new developments in the construction of the forces between two, three and\nfour nucleons which have been partly carried out to fifth order in the chiral\nexpansion. It is also shown that based on these forces in conjunction with the\nestimation of the corresponding theoretical uncertainties, the need for\nthree-nucleon forces in few nucleon systems can be unambiguously established. I\nalso introduce the lattice formulation of these forces, which allow for truly\nab initio calculations of nuclear structure and reactions. I present some\npertinent results of the nuclear lattice approach. Finally, I discuss how\nfew-nucleon systems and nuclei can be used to explore symmetries and physics\nwithin and beyond the Standard Model.\n
