Abstract
I discuss the close connection between the description of plasmons, which are charge excitations localized at the boundaries between dissimilar regions in composite materials, and effective-medium theories (EMTs), which describe the macroscopic dielectric response of such materials. The requirements for the validity of an EMT are also considered.
