The role of non-renormalizable operators is emphasised in the mechanism which generates the string tension. Additional examples are mentioned where certain non-renormalizable operators of the bare lagrangian turn out to be important at finite energy scale.Lecture delivered at the Enrico Fermi School of Physics, 37 pages, LATEXHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyConfinement and renormalizationtext
